Pros

- Predictable work hours (little to no nights or weekends) - Never any layoffs - 7.5 hour work days

Cons

- Favoritism is abundant. - It is virtually impossible to get ahead financially. "Raises" are typically only inflation. - In most positions, you will be treated like a Kindergartener. The micro-managing is strong. You must be at your desk ready to work at a set time and you have specified lunch hours. - There is a very clear lack of transparency. - Very slow to adapt (ex: dress code, working remotely) - You are evaluated by every numerical metric possible. - Advancement opportunities will be very limited unless you are relocatable. - Very unhealthy office politics

Pros

Amazing people. Amazing atmosphere. Amazing milieu. I love my internship and i am getting paid pretty well for an intern.

Cons

I am in claims so it is pretty redundant in tasks even though no claim is the same.

Pros

There is a lot left to be desired, the primary "Pro" would be co- workers

Cons

In my opinion, AO is short sighted and concerned only for the higher ups. Departments are forced to be silo-ed and have built a culture that even walking into a another area of the same floor makes you feel out of place. Decisions are made from a top down perspective, meaning they are worried about their bottom dollar instead of what is in the best interest of everyone. The front line workers receive a low salary and a cap on profit sharing of 15% while managers get 2x that amount, with the higher you climb the bigger the bonus. Employees are seen as disposable and are treated as such.
