"If you are pretty and have no self-respect, your life here could be decent. Generally, hard working and qualified people are expected to work harder (80 hours weekly), especially at the manager level, while prettier and well-connected folks work 40 hours weekly. Further, and this is true only here, directors take all credit for managers’ work and managers do not get to interact with anyone other than their direct boss. The company also rarely promotes managers and pushes them out every 2-3 years. Might as well give the same hours in banking to get a promotion and double pay out of it. Some pretty women are token promoted to show support of diversity but true power stays with the old white men. "

"The job can consume you. They continue to restructure the organization and downsize, putting more workload on those remaining. There really isn't a healthy balance, and if you try to make one, you're not a team player."

Did you take Maternity leave?
"No"
"I was full time most of my career with ELC (and I am now) but was forced to go to a part time role (with more flexibility) so that I could persue intense infertility treatment. This left me without paid maternity leave. I took 6 weeks unpaid leave and returned to my part time role which eventually moved into a full time position. It’s a departure from the career track I was initially on, but better aligns with family goals."
