PTO is nice, flexible work/life balance-I know it may not seem like it by my cons list, I do truly love the position I have, I love my work I do and do enjoy being part of my team. I am pretty good at what I do, and I am proud and feel accomplished of all I learned so thus far.

Pay and Recognition, My last yearly review, I have been in my department a little over 3 yrs now, I have been through 3 different managers just in the past year, Last year I was told that even though my numbers were Better than expected that I wouldn't receive that rating due to then "I would not have anything to work towards." I literally handle a whole regions certain lines of insurance due to my backup has been gone for an extended leave, I did everything my job requires and lots of extra responsibilities, I took on and really pushed my limits last year, literally almost drove myself mad in doingso. I figured I had a new manager so I had a better chance of crawling from the bottom base pay range, so I was going to do everything I could do be the best at what I do and then some. Well I was wrong, All of my hard work and taking on ridiculous workloads, also helping other regions with their work, along with also being involved in center wide projects, and cross training my team and other regions....and I got a few "inconsistent ratings" on my review this year. To add insult to injury my "manager" rated my numbers based on if I was already at the next tier... I have never recieved such poor treatment as an employee. Really feels impossible to make a decent wage here. Also to add to my list of things that do not make any logical sense, they are now raising the minimum for new hires, So now brand new people walking in the door will make the same wage as me. Me, An employee who trains my peers with 3 yrs under my belt. Now they are raising everyone to make at least that amount (myself included), but you know what else that means, No promotions this year. So I will be ranked with new hires, all my hard work and when it translates to what they value me at is I am valued the same as someone brand new, someone who doesn't know anything yet. You will never see more than a 3% increase on your annual review unless you are promoted to the next tier. So, unless you like being stuck in the same bottom level with little to no hope of growing or making competitive wage, look else where. There are multiple companies that will start you off making more doing exactly what I do.
