Pros
The Executive Team at O.C. Tanner really cares about it's employees. Working at O.C. Tanner during the pandemic really solidified that for me. They were doing everything they could to make sure we were getting what we needed. I couldn't imagine working for a different company during that time. I do believe that they make business decisions with all employees in mind. Additional Pros for me are: -They have really great benefits like an onsite health center and onsite cafeteria -Flexibility and Work Life Balance -Good leadership in my department -Employee autonomy - The people are amazing
Cons
There is a lot of long tenure which is great but it also means things you aren't going to see openings for management positions incredibly often.

Like most companies, there is office politics that sometimes get in the way of progress and innovation.

Pros
Great hybrid schedule and respect of boundaries around time. Work-life balance definitely achievable. People are great and really committed to the success of the company.

There's a lot of talk about the future, greater clients, greater products and the solution of most current issues and concerns will be solved overtime. Can be frustrating when the need is now.
