Pros

Summer hours if your area participates, standard 401(k) company match rate, decent pay for easy/entry level work.

Cons

Arrogant company that feels its "premium" products will sell themselves, terrible acquisition integration. Career advancement is difficult and is based on time spent at the company or sucking up to management versus job performance. Culture lacks innovation, outdated tools and systems, and poor leadership with no talent at Director and VP level. Job itself is entry level with copy/paste projects and looking stuff up on the internet with everything else done by external consultants. No access to meaningful data. No direction and not enough work to stay busy during the day but expected to be available outside of working hours when there is a need. Lots of pointless travel and a worthless data analytics team don’t help with productivity. Annual review process was a complete joke. People will purposely discredit you to improve their own image. Compensation and PTO are below market averages and they will not negotiate on either when hired.

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.
