Pros

Not any other then a pretty flexible boss and could adjust my schedule however I wanted

Cons

This could quite possibly be the worst company to work for. Everyone is so depressed and I have never met anyone that enjoys their job. They are the butt of jokes in the Pittsburgh community. They are overstaffed and unpaid. There is no communication between the different levels of management. While working there for two years, I witnessed countless employees leave because they were so miserable. The work is not challenging and any experience gained is inapplicable to other firms. I truly feel sorry for anyone who still works there.

Business Outlook

Pros

Most people are hard working and dedicated, if underpaid.

Cons

At first, things were ok, but over time, the experience degraded with further bureaucracy, red-tape and a fragmented business model that trickles down through every aspect of the business. There is little to no control from the top, every business unit is allowed to weigh in and have a say in every decision which has the obvious negative effects of impeding progress and making it challenging if not downright impossible to streamline core systems, functions, etc.
