A ton of potential, but steadily embracing mediocrity

Pros

Good benefits, good paid-time off (3 weeks + 3 floating + 1 week at 3 and 6 years), stable and company, stock awards.

Cons

A company that stands for nothing but the lowest common denominator. Senior leadership appears oblivious, stumped by culture issues, and focused solely on acquisitions. The company is in a constant state of reorganization to scrape small gains out of processes and try to cope with aggressive expansion. Extremely high turnover due to low base salaries and minimal investment in most employees while growth is record-breaking year after year. Appalling treatment of contract employees. Massive IT issues stemming from talent drain, antiquated methodologies, and lack of leadership. Incomprehensibly slow at responding to serious issues. Virtually no environmental responsibility initiatives and a minimal approach to philanthropy for a company of this size.

Successful and stable company

Pros

Very successful and stable company that continues to grow. Great benefits and decent compensation.

Cons

Not much diversity in senior leadership. Corporate, Tower and International very much have a feel of - three different companies versus one company following consistent processes and guidelines.
