      Over the 10+ years I have been here, some moments and some people have been wonderful.

      Pros

      Lots of variety in career options. People are friendly and genuinely helpful.

      Cons

      Pay is poor. Currently in bankruptcy. Inconsistencies from one department to another. Those of us who work really hard get paid the same as those that don't. Big secrecy of salaries, and management tells us not to talk to one another about it. Raises past number of years have been in the 1 to 2% range, so we're sliding backwards with health care cost increases. Only way to get ahead is to move to a different department.

      Once a great company to work for

      Pros

      Good work/life balance. Was once a great company to work for but has since changed. Reasonable goals for company is in the past.

      Cons

      Deteriorating benefits with higher employee payment responsibility. Company in bankruptcy. It's not what you know it's who you know. Different rules apply to different employees when trying to climb the ladder for success. Especially in sales and marketing. HR is only looking out for upper management - be leery of working for this company.

      Struggling to move from yesterday to tomorrow

      Pros

      Good work/life balance. Products that have the potential to really make a difference in the world. Recognizes that the old business model needs to change. Lots of people who really care about the company and the mission.

      Cons

      Too much bureaucracy. Many long-term employees seem satisfied with the status quo. Recognition of the need to change the business model often doesn't extend to feeling the need to change the supporting business practices or how the work gets done.
