Great work-life balance if you are non-hourly.

Management rarely bothers you (not really a good thing for most).

Jobs in BCA are a cakewalk. You will be paid. Great health insurance.

Awful management. Awful retentions. Bias treatment. Lack of professionalism in all levels. Lack of development. Lack of opportunities. Lack of proper compensation. Lack of everything, really.

First off, learn to lead. If you can't inspire others and motivate them, step down. You are making things worse.

It is OK to not be a great leader, not many are. I certainly am not.

Stop leaning on experience. It isn't everything. There are very, very capable 20-somethings and 30-somethings that can and will walk circles around even the executives of all BCA programs. So, respect ambitious people and promote their ambitions. Give them the chance to learn and excel.

Stop forcing people to sit down, shut up, and grind. You will continue losing young people if you force them to wait 5-10 years for a chance to make a new grade, even if they are capable much earlier.

Also, pay better. 65 billion in revenue and you rarely give people market value when you hire and or promote them? Seriously?

Most people are happy to make market value, so I am baffled as to why you don't do this when your revenues are sky high.

Last but not least, a majority of jobs require little actual time to be spent at the office, yet many programs force you to be there, even when the weather is awful. In fact, you either take a sick day or vacation day, or you lose money. Yet another thing that makes people very upset.

We are all adults, treat us like an adult and wonderful things will happen. Does it mean baby or pamper us? No, but being respectful and giving us the tools and the chances to succeed will go a long way in keeping the company competitive.
