Pros

You can work as many hours as you like - the company is happy to let you work yourself to an early grave. The office space is nice and the location is good. There are so many dysfunctional managers as to be almost comical. To young people coming out of college: Avoid Argo at all costs. Technology is dated and, unless all you want is a job on your resume, you won't learn much new here. To seasoned professionals thinking about joining the company: Be prepared to run into a huge wall of incompetence and political games coming from the fifth floor. There are a few managers who run the place like it was their own personal playground - and they're like pit vipers - you will get bit. Think long and hard before you join and ask yourself if playing politics is what you really want to do.

Cons

The company is always short-staffed - no matter when you ask, they always need between 30 and 60 new people. Some of that is because the company is growing, or branching out into new areas, but the vast majority is because people leave Argo like it was a fast-food outlet. Seriously, turnover is massively high, especially when you consider that the people leaving are highly skilled professionals, not just quickly hired off the street.

Pros

Lower level managers try to provide a good working environment for their employees by being flexible and generous. They do this in conflict with corporate policies.

Cons

The company compelled every employee to sign an NDA stating they will never say anything bad about the company. Now or any time in the future. (version 7.01.2009)

Pros

They rarely layoff but then again there's no need for that - employees leave anyway for greener pastures in droves every year.

Cons

I worked there for over 4 years and not A SINGLE DOLLAR raise! ZERO! I worked lots of odd jobs through college - grocery store, customer service, etc and you know what? I actually got raises there!! I swear I know people who have worked at Argo for over 5 years and have never gotten a raise!! NEVER!! And bonuses? People don't even know what that means at Argo. How can you run a business and not give raises to your employees??!! I will never get that. That is why the company has the retention problems of a call center. Incredible. They hire a bunch of college grads every year and once those new grads gain 1-2 yrs experience they give themself a 10-20% pay raise by going to another company. No diversity in upper management. Only 1 minority in upper management while I was there.
