      CAREER GROWTH: Everyone is Responsible for Doing Their Part

      Senior business analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      * Executive/Most Senior leadership genuinely cares, wanting the best for people and the organization * Executive/Most Senior leadership surrounds themselves with smart people to make sound business decisions and take smart risks for the betterment of their associates, organization, and the bottom line * Executive/Most Senior leadership consistently walk their talk, having integrity, character and taking ownership * Executive/Most Senior leadership and most managers appreciate people with strong, impeccable work ethic and adaptability * Great working environment: fast-paced, friendly, exciting, diversity is welcomed, and associates support each other (individual teams and cross-functionally) to ensure the success of tasks, projects, and events * Middle management, for the most part and depending on the business area, is: fair, supportive, and understanding * Wealth of opportunities to take your career any direction you want, IF your current manager champions you, OR you know the hiring manager; so network smart and with a purpose, and maintain a champion * Pays very well (above minimum wage and market comparable) * Excellent benefits (medical, dental, life insurance, 401K +matching) * Awarding perks (bonuses, training classes, care/solution hotlines)

      Cons

      * Favoritism, cliques, politics, biased performance reviews, and unethical managers can make it difficult for anyone, even top talent, to fairly grow their career * Conflict-avoidance is thick (1) Human Resources working for managers instead of associates, not taking associate concerns seriously, and not being true mediators for amicable solutions (2) Untrained, unseasoned, immature managers “getting rid of people,” instead of taking the high road and ownership to work through concerns * Middle management, small percentage and depending on the business area, tend to be: unfair regarding associate development, showing favoritism and suppressing talents of others; insecure; intimidated by direct reports; and retaliatory

      Home Depot Outside Sales (300+ mile days, no pay)

      Outside sales consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Some free time to seek employment elsewhere.

      Cons

      The company has rolled out a new SalesForce system for distributing appointments. Sales people are now "on call all day" running their own cars with no gas milage reimbursement in a 100 mile diameter area. You spend more time in your car than you do face-to-face with a customer. appointments are set 50 away from your home with little to none in your own area. Bonus Commissions have dropped and they demand 4 hours free labor in the store on Saturday to generate leads.
