Pros

Paycheck , full gym available to employees. Covered parking, On-site cafeteria.

Cons

Where to start? Non diverse management staff. No room for promotions if you're female, and you can forget about it if you're a male of color. Managers spend more time libeling employees than actually managing. Performance reviews are extremely subjected Seasoned employees are "laid off" and replaced by younger staff members, H/R share personal information to unrelated employees. Managers obsessing with employees personal lives to the point of following employees home.Seeking FMLA is the kiss of death, anyone seeking to use the FMLA program will eventually get "laid-off" under the pretense that their job is 'leaving the country." Folks are so afraid of getting "laid-off" until the climate is like the hunger games (i get you before you get me).

Pros

The company has the best benefit package in the industry. It used to have some great people working for it.

Cons

There in NO work/life balance! Weekends, holidays and late nights are just normal working hours. There is a thinly veiled purge going on now to hire a younger work force and dismiss those older than 40.

Pros

Great pay, coworkers become like family, excellent benefits

Cons

Work life balance still needs work, region manager is not supportive of his team or the teammates and everyone is just a number. Area managers are all excellent and care about the teammates maybe a change in regime is all that is needed.
