Amazing Company

Pros

This company works hard to keep their people happy. Awesome perks, annual parties (sometimes two!), cafeteria with free breakfast, hot and cold drinks at the Riverwoods campus, always looking for employee feedback and striving to make reasonable changes when indicated. Contests with prizes for top-performers, employee recognition for success and memorable dates is common. Christmas gifts to the staff are amazing. Many people I knew had been there for a long, long time and had no intention of going anywhere else. Positive, friendly, uplifting culture.

Cons

This being a college town, they have a huge pool of potential part-time employees - and as a result, their wage scale is fairly low, although they pay a lot better than minimum. Not much possibility for raises as a part-timer beyond annual increases in the "almost paltry" range.

Pros

Nice Company, Great culture, loved my team and colleagues. Work life balance was awesome.

Cons

I felt like most of the important events were happening in Utah. Average age of the employees is quite high. It is not generally known as a tech company
