Pros

They gave every other Friday off

Cons

-I never actually was able to take every other Friday off and was in many Saturdays -The work life balance is terrible and management does not care -They keep employees that are toxic to the environment -Their accepting culture is a facade - there were many days where I heard people refer to homosexuals as "pedophiles" and people that would openly blurt out that the middle east should just be nuked already - No profit sharing or bonuses, they have an award program in place, but none of my managers ever used it -Advancement is extremely slow, I had heard first had many managers talk about how they had to leave and come back a few years later to get promotions -Was told by my manager that it was not in the budget to pay what I was worth when I gave my notice

Pros

Flexibility in work The few remaining coworkers from the Ball days are great Can bank 400 hours of PTO

Cons

Since the transition from ball to bae, the company has decided to try and make life as unhappy as possible. They removed 2 weeks from our short term disability leave (was 6weeks for giving birth) They got rid of our sick time and made it all PTO and that transition caused us to lose time off in total Refuse to promote despite the levels changing and years of experience needed being lowered. They have capped the number of promotions a year then tell us that isn’t true and then refuse to do promotions that are desperately needed. Instead of promoting or giving decent raises they lose great people and constantly have to hire from outside for more than it probably cost to just promote. They started searching our bags? Random bag checks were just implemented. Getting anything approved is impossible (especially technology or training) Attrition is getting out of hand but all hands say everything is great despite everyone asking what they will do to help keep talent Pay is not keeping up and if you are an overachiever you will never be paid for that effort
