Avantages
There are a few initiatives that EMJ has rolled out in the past few years that they're really trying to get their employees to believe in. I think these ideas are great for our industry, and they should be the guidelines to how people live their personal AND professional lives. For my position, life-work balance is excellent. Our EVP allows us to have a flexible work schedule, but highly stresses that the work (and hours) must be done each week.
Inconvénients
There seems to be a bit of sexism in my branch. No one from our other offices would ever know it when they visit, but having worked for EMJ for over a year, I witness it everyday and it's difficult (and awkward) to voice your opinion, or to be promoted to a position that you've a) expressed an interest in; and b) are more qualified for than someone hired outside of the company. While management says there is always an open door policy, their doors seem to be closed a lot, or they're never available. It can create an awkward moment weeks or months after something has occurred.
