Pros

Subsidized meals On site gym with personal trainers Excellent team members as management is picky about who they hire Regular Team building Yearly training budget They consider new technologies and do use them if they make sense

Cons

Management has stated that they are amazed by how much work we get done, but then we are paid as if we are average. No bonus structure. You start out with only 10 days PTO, 6 holidays, and 3-4 sickdays. This is really low compaired to other software shops. Raises are done annually and don't recognize that you might be under payed for what you do for the company and your experience. HR is focused towards being great for the call center agents and is missing the picture for the entire IT group. Managers don't have enough power over HR

Pros

1-800 CONTACTS is probably the best place I will ever work. The culture is fantastic, the management is great, and I will always use 1-800 CONTACTS as the example of how a company can best serve its employees.

Cons

With all good things, there have to be some cons. 1-800 CONTACTS isn't as competitive as other companies, but to me, the quality of life outweighs the salary deficiencies.
