Pros
Average salary DB pension Altruistic business model Depending on who you got as a direct report, it will make or break your career trajectory.
Cons
Growing pain mode: trying to run before one can walk. Understandable to want to grow the business, but is the system good enough to handle all the customization required to handle new businesses? Overbearing new directors and managers: CAAT has become a top heavy organization with lots of new so called directors who seem to want to impress and make a mark for themselves. This only creates chaos since every Director wanted to do things his/her own way, and decision making process can be a pain in the neck. Unbeknownst to them, some of these new managers/directors are messing workflows up with their crazy ideas. Some rookie managers are insecure of themsleves, useless, and make work more intolerable. If there is an issue, some of these managers are so clueless on how to solve the issue, ask for help/expertise on team members on the guise of 'teamwork', and not willing to get their hands dirty to do work to solve issue or do actual work. All they do is make reports, ask due date for projects, raise risk, and not help team members who do the actual work. Recent shake up with the COO position abruptly terminated and no explanation - classic business move to make everyone guessing what is going on. If an organization can immediately eliminate long tenured COO just like that, do you think they care about other peasants? You be the judge. Cloying teamwork culture all around. CAAT prouds itself as a 'One Team' approach organization, which is true ONLY if some annoying managers need your help. If you ask for help, depending who/which department you ask help for, usually it will be brushed off, or better yet, no response. Go Teamwork!
