Pros

Paid for most of my education. Continually grew within the company. Enjoyed the people I worked with. Free gym, basketball leagues, and occasional free food. Overall a great place to work in.

Cons

Like any places, politics still plays a key role on your growth opportunity. Lots of tenured people which can make it difficult to grow in different dept. I hated layoff time and see some really good people go! It seems like a yearly occurrence. I always tried to be on my A game so that my name did not end up on that list. When promoting people to leadership role, management team tends to promote people who are technically sound but not necessarily great leaders.

Pros

Good pay. Good benefits. My coworkers who were at the same level as me were supportive.

Cons

Work environment was highly stressful and often unsustainable. Management created a culture where employees were frequently overworked, undervalued, and burned out. Communication from leadership was inconsistent and their expectations changed frequently. Work-life balance was very poor. Employee concerns did not get taken seriously unless they directly impacted company performance. When an HR compliant involving my supervisor was filed for his behavior with input from the majority of the team members, no meaningful action was taken beyond stating it was handled "per BSC policy". Opportunities for promotion and career advancement were limited. Employees who treated others poorly were often still rewarded or praised as long as performance metrics were met. There was a clear culture of favoritism and hierarchy, and employees outside of those circles could work above and beyond expectations without receiving recognition or advancement opportunities. In 2 years, there were 12 employees who were fired in a 10 person department.
