Pros
- Financial Services provided a great environment for individuals who are willing to learn and put in the effort to improve their professional skills. - The team takes pride in providing education and development on any topic and the same is said for the team members. Every person/subject matter expert was willing to help on any matter any time. - Started focusing on making improvements using an analytical approach - Exposure to the executive team was relatively good. - Remote flexibility was an amazing luxury to have and work-life balance was never a problem. - When we were in office, the work environment was great.
Cons
- How you experience growth in the department is dependent on who you report to and and not necessarily the skills you provide. - The headcount has been decreasing steadily as the department pushes to hire "top-tier" talent while offering uncompetitive pay. This is partially due to only pursuing recent college graduates and being picky in the interview process. - The number of leadership team members has increased so much that growth is being stunted for certain individuals who deserve to be in leadership roles. - IT enhancements for the department are lagging behind primarily because IT resources at ScanSource as a whole are scarce. - Even though a more analytical approach has been implemented, there are still several processes that resulted from knee-jerk reactions to abnormal events that should be changed.
