Working there were the best years of my life.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Top Benefits, centrally located, top pay many company perks, and bonus.

Cons

There are days you work long late hours; no summer Fridays; before the merger with Lifetime senior management was kept on for years; can be a bit of a "Boys Club". The Lifetime merger shook up the company; lots of good people were let go. Out with the old and in with a new younger crop of employees.

Pros

Some very nice people; had good benefits although those are being cut back because of financial uncertainty

Cons

Fading industry, frequent layoff cycles with hints of more to come, the company is trying to innovate but some divisions are slow to modernize other than throwing around silly talking points at meetings.
