Don’t be a long term employee if you are ambitious

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Big company, standard benefit, paid overtime

Cons

Below average salaries, new employees are paid much better than long term employees. So, if you are ambitious, don’t stay around long. And if you want to stick around, quit and re-join, you are better off this way
