Pros

This is a great place to work for multiple reasons. Many of their policies are employee driven (i.e. vacation, dress code, work hours, bonus potential ). They also have tons of opportunity for advancement. If you work hard, they reward you for it. The people you work with are wonderful.

Cons

Starting salary can be lower than normal but the workplace atmosphere makes up for that some. Sometimes, it's worth a lower salary to actually want to come to work.

Pros

Excellent flexibility and PTO policy. Able to work from home and use flex hours. Managers empower and support their employees. Opportunities for charity work and potential for bonuses.

Cons

Frequent restructuring in recent years. Little growth potential for certain job titles. Quality of health insurance has gone down in recent years.

Pros

PTO policy is the best, allows for true work-life balance, and actually pays a bonus on values and not just on company performance. CEO does a great job looking forward and not just focusing on the last quarter's numbers. Pretty much the only reasons to stay.

Cons

Health care package is a problem because it is based out of Kansas City. A lot of specialist services in Massachusetts won't accept it because they consider it out of state, which means we pay for services in Massachusetts we can't even use. The deductible is really expensive, too, and the lack of coverage for a lot of specialized, even preventive, services means you'll pay all of it before the end of the year. The health care package is a total rip off. IT is a mess after all this time. Leadership is focused entirely on their system up-time numbers, and are too busy wagging their finger about following policies to actually listening to the business units about what they need for product. Front-line network team members aren't respected or listened to at all, and they know the problems and how to fix them better than anyone.
