Pros

only 1 - location is downtown, so plenty of lunch options!

Cons

-Poor Management: this company believes from promoting from within, but only if you're select enough to be in good with the executives. This means that UN-qualified individuals end up being responsible for things they have no clue on. -Poor Training: the company will throw you into a new position (b/c someone usually quit) and will expect obscene results and not provide training needed to get the job done -Poor communication: over the years there, I saw many instances where an employee was trying to communicate an issue to executives/mgmt./hr and the communication was thrown to the side b/c it was not in the same direction as their mindsets or opinions.

Pros

The lower management is good except when "yes people" are hired. Team is great, always ready to help each other to complete what needs done. Other teams are good however often their management are very insulting.

Cons

Under paid and over worked They will say you're like family and then drop you the moment without question and without cause. They do not live up to their values. They will promise things they don't follow through on. Management hires "yes men/women" for leadership roles. Management will often tell you what you think is wrong...and basically say you're stupid for bringing it up. Upper Management will knowingly hire less qualified leaders to save a buck. They'll expect you to work more and if you're hourly you will not be approved for overtime without having to write a dissertation first...and it will probably be denied. Good luck with your deadlines. Training is haphazard at best, (mainly because they don't use people with training skills, just people that are the closest friends of management)
