Pros

~ Very flexible work arrangement for non-customer facing positions and work at home for some of the customer facing positions ~ Excellent PTO ~ Benefits (On Site Child Care, Credit Union, Nurses Office, Fitness Center, Free Weight Watchers, HSA Medical Plans, Dental, Eye Care, Legal Plans, 401K, Bonuses based on performance, etc.) ~ State of the art customer service ~ Training for all new releases ~ Innovative releases ~ Now moving in the digital environment

Cons

~ Salary not commensurate with like companies ~ More of a who you know versus what you know environment for promotion / project assignments ~ Aging technology for non-customer facing roles ~ Less people to do the same job due to reductions in force ~ Outsourcing overseas ~ Constant changes to the direction in the company ~ Annual reviews seem to be based on who is favored on teams (those who were given choice projects)
