Pros

Pay is ok, but the company is run by to many managers.

Cons

superfutial commercial-led cultural values, us-centric popular-based entertainment encouraging consumerism. weak content, and endless repetition. Actually thats just the good points. . . .

Pros

Great 401k matching. Tons of paid time off. Intelligent co-workers Free parking.

Cons

Total lack of support for employees. Continual punitive actions for not providing 110% accuracy. If you make a mistake caused by another, you get nailed. Atmosphere of fear is the norm. Insane scheduling. A toxic, corporate work environment.
