Reviews about "work life balance"
Return to all Reviews- 5.0Nov 15, 2016Account ExecutiveCurrent Employee, more than 8 yearsAbbott Park, IL
Pros
Great benefits, and work life balance. Generous PTO to start off with, 3 weeks plus 3 additional days off, but 10 years before you get an extra weeks vacation.
Cons
Not every dept. is managed equally. Some departments are very flexible with allowing employees work life balance and others are not. Little to no career advancement opportunities, even employees with experience and not give opportunities to interview for positions. They would rather hire outside talent than grow their internal talent. Lack of decent merit increases, most of the increase goes to top management, rather than employees that are producing results. Lots of biased favoritism in the review and merit increase process, employees are stake ranked against each other. HR seems to do nothing about this. Also asked to take on more responsibility, had a title change, with increased responsibility with no increase in salary. Worked with manager for a market adjustment, and it was not made a priority, when I followed up with the managing director, my questions were rudely dismissed. Not all areas of the company are like this, but it was my experience.
