Great Work/Life Balance and Culture

Pros

Competitive pay and comprehensive benefits, including tuition reimbursement and a new fitness reimbursement program. The company is very supportive in regards to development opportunities, whether it be classes, seminars, or degree programs. The work-life balance provided in my position is phenomenal. My team is readily available to take over when one of us is out sick or on vacation. Upper-management is very approachable and visible. Previous reviews indicate that the CEO is very outspoken (1000% true), but I would much rather have a bold personality than someone stuffy and unapproachable. Management often takes time to be active in the community, speaking and being at many school and career events.

Cons

Like most mid-sized companies, growth/advancement opportunities are lacking, purely due to the size of the company. There are advancement opportunities in some areas, but a promotion may not happen as quickly as some would like. They do a good job of communicating this to you before you start, so you have a realistic outlook of your career with the company. On the same note, entry level positions are rare, so most interns find positions outside of the company after graduation.

Pros

Great Company, Bosses are generous with work life balance. Feel trusted to make the right decisions and supported by my boss. There is a true feeling of community - great employee programs. Reasonably priced cafeteria with healthy choices.

Cons

There really aren't any cons worth noting. Worked for many companies and this one is pretty good. If anything, I don't care for working in cubicles.

Decisions can be made very slowly if at all. Middle managers subvert / delay / distort senior management decisions Change can seem to be next to impossible to discuss much less implement
