Pros

The coffee is free, they have a decent cafeteria.

Cons

Every ounce of accountability falls directly on the Data Analyst. If a customer sends their data late or sends the wrong data, or if the Implementation Lead adds new "issues" at the last possible minute, you will still be expected to hit the deadline, despite having far less time to do so. This can, and will lead to 30+ hour work weekends, with no compensation for your time Communication is nonexistent. You will be expected to maintain perfect records, down to the minute, of your productivity, but you will not be alerted in any fashion when a project due date changes. This makes planning and scheduling nearly impossible, leading to multiple schedule conflicts. The company invests nothing in its analysts that aren't working on their biggest accounts. No raises for the vast majority of the department, however, we hired 8 new senior vice presidents. Most forms of employee appreciation were done away with. Quarterly awards meetings, social mixers, summer fireworks shows, all gone. In addition to not investing in current employees, hiring to replace lost employees is also lacking. All of the work that was being done by an employee that departs is unceremoniously dropped on someone else's desk, whether or not they have time in their schedule for it. The hiring process is incredibly slow, apparently, as only one person was hired to replace 7 that left during my time. New hires typically flee within the first 2 years.

Pros

1.Birthday holiday benefit. 2.Some coworkers are very helpful. 3. Accommodating for doctor's appointments.

Cons

1.Improper training. 2. Lousy Benefits, not good for a company of this magnitude. 3.No Christmas presents, you get NOTHING! 4.I went to an outing once, I was not impressed. This company is cheap! 5. They'll hire you for a fake job posting, then trick you into doing more work during your probation. Furthermore, they'll never give you a raise. I saw at least 5 people resign on account of that. Yes, 5 people! 6.Employee opinions don't matter, even when you point the obvious. 7. Management is lazy.(Not the sharpest knife in the drawer either) 8. I had a hard time contacting HR because it's though to identify them. They quit very often needless to say... 9. Favoritism. 10.Pay is not great. 11. Extreme stressful work conditions. 12. They don't value bilingual employees. 13. I can keep going because the list is still LONG.

Extremely boring repetitive work without obvious value

Pros

New CEO ended the drug test policy which could be a good thing but I don't use drugs. This company likes to hire people out of college which is good for new grads since very few companies want to do this anymore. Company retains elderly employees Easy commute if you live in south suburbs

Cons

CEO Reid French hires all his buddies into top positions in the company over people who are doing a great job such as the last Marketing VP. Low salary that does not increase proportionally to your responsibilities. Trying to implement agile as a new development strategy when agile is meant for projects much smaller than epic. Monitors your internet usage. Company has been known to over promise and under deliver to clients in sales.
