Pros

Pay. Really, that's about it. They have a pension plan that takes 5 years to vest in the plan. Free parking. Convenient north-side location near MARTA station.

Cons

Rudderless ship for more than a year. 2 VP's in less than a year, and the directors are childish, rude and do nothing more than attend meetings. Only the specialists get anything done. Shared services model does not work at all. Comms team wants to believe they are relelvant, but they aren't. Below the director level, literally every employee has voiced desire to move to other departments or to leave the company.

The most dysfunctional division I've ever worked for...

Pros

Love my daily tasks. Loved helping other with work loads. Enjoyed everything about it and have fantastic reviews on my work, employee relations, etc

Cons

Watched the company walk out two VP's (same position) over the course of 10 months without notice. Watched one management person loose 8 out of 12 people due to excessively poor management skills without loosing their position. Every day the reporting structure of the organization changes. Everyday there is absolutely NO communication regarding current contracts. DO NOT WORK THERE IF YOU REQUIRE EVEN THE SLIGHTEST FLEXIBILITY. This is not a modern work environment that believes workers can accomplish their tasks from anywhere other than their desks. Instead just a steady message from FT directors that contractors have a reason to be nervous. Very toxic environment in spite of the 'caring' HR message being disseminated. So wish it were a healthy place to work.

Pros

Excellent Medical, great compensation. Relaxed work environment. No dress code. Historic downtown location. Early screening of Star Wars, the Force Awakens. Great plane to learn and grow in one of the largest privately held corporations (cox auto) in North America. Profit sharing with yearly bonus. New leadership is great. 401K and pension plan. Growing crazy fast. OT is available. 18 days off, plus a good parcel of holidays

Cons

Growing crazy fast can often translate into a lot of stress and a large workload. We are hiring like crazy right now, but in the mean time, we are swamped. You have to be able to balance workloads and plan out your time. We don't have sick time, so those 18 days PTO are vacation or time. Clients can be demanding.
