Pros

Good people, competitive pay and benefits. The company tries very hard to be employee-friendly to "lesser privileged" groups, almost to the point of reverse discrimination and affirmative action.

Cons

Companies often fail to realize that everyone has challenges to overcome with hard work and perseverance. Not just groups that were traditionally viewed as having disadvantages.

Men also need mentors and coaches. Non-BIPOC people also have self-esteem and confidence issues. Not everyone can afford the colleges they want.

Advice to Management

Be more inclusive: have Collab conferences and support groups for men and others, not just for women, LGBTQ people, and people of color.
