Business Outlook

Pros

Very competitive salary; outstanding perks including a free 24-7 concierge service and onsite pharmacy, fitness centers, onsite daycare, pension & 401(k); highly collaborative work environment; outstanding leadership at all levels. Most managers are also open to flexible work arrangements to support work/life balance and a global service model.

Cons

HQ campus is spread out, so spend extra time traveling to meetings and facilities. Although many facilities have been remodeled to more open and modern workspace, there are still a few cube farms. And if you want to live in the city, commuting by car from downtown Chicago is very tough, but Metra and shuttle service makes it doable.
