Pros

The training here is great if you are looking to move into management. Leadership is supportive, and open. Coworkers are friendly and helpful

Cons

Technology is old. Promises of updating have been heard for some time, but no movement as of yet. Recent layoffs hurt the companies image HR changes expectations mid year for End of Year review. Code is difficult to maintain. Pay is lower than average

Pros

Due to the fact that much of the software is proprietary, there are good opportunities to learn new things. Great team and manager for the most part. Good office location, plenty of covered parking.

Cons

I've been told it is difficult to excel in performance reviews, although I wasn't there long enough to know firsthand. Upper management seems to have unrealistic expectations when developing project plans and timelines, leading to long hours.

Pros

- Argo is indeed the premiere company of its type in USA. They have a high-profile, loyal customer base. - Low level employees are given a career manager who is tasked with ensuring that the employee has everything he/she needs to succeed at the company - If you're not very skilled, then Argo will still hire you. You get paid relatively well for a low-skill position. - Staying there for a while can give you good resume material and interview talking-points when looking for a new job. - If you're rather apathetic and unmotivated, then you'll find a nice home at Argo, and they won't fire you. - High turnover rates mean you may get promoted once--regardless of performance. - Health care benefits that make sense for people just entering the workforce

Cons

- The company seems to be surviving off of its legacy and not its current successes. - Success at the company does not do much for the employee's bottom line. They are honest about rewarding performance, but the reward barely raises your compensation above the level of apathetic employees who get by on the minimum effort--even when you're in a leadership position. - Argo is unwilling to take advantage of federal educational assistance. - High turnover rates mean that important, knowledgeable members of your team are always at risk of leaving the company. - Poor benefits packages (low 401K matching--up to 3%, 7-year vestment period). New employees stand to gain more by leaving at their first opportunity than by staying. - The culture is generally negative
