Pros

The retirement benefits are a plus here. I really have nothing positive to say about this company. The manager and director I worked with are utterly unprofessional. They do not communicate at all and sometimes bully their staff.

Cons

The team I am working with gets offended when I send out project updates and deliver projects on time and early. My manager and director would send a staff to HR with a written warning without any pre-communication. And they would tell that staff that he is being terminated with ABC plan...

Pros

Benefits are awesome and the pay can be good.

Cons

The leadership within the organization is all about favoritism. This includes HR, hires who they are told to give a chance too. It's sad but there alot of cover up between all upper management. At the end of the day they do not care for your well being only theirs. There is no help on career path your on your own. There is no compassion for employees.
