Pros

- 1/2 day Fridays - Good benefits

Cons

- HR has too much say in who gets promoted & when given that they do not know the inner workings of a team dynamic or the day to day that goes on within a team / group. It should be left up to upper leadership or managers to make those determinations, with support from HR. This HR team is way too political in who they push for promotions - their friends. It's a very odd dynamic. - The shift from two days in office to three days in office was rough for everyone. Brother is too old school in this mentality that in office work is better than working from home and is better for employees. - Provide more opportunities for growth! It shouldn't take someone 10 years or more to get promoted, especially if the person does their job well!

Pros

The company has great benefits.

Cons

It's not a safe community to work at if you are a women. I was told to send pictures of my outfits to my boss before going to events. I also had my boss brag to me that a prostitute was trying to pick him in which he told several coworkers. There is so much excessive drinking at this company. I've worked in this industry for 15 years and I've never seen a company allow so many inappropriate behaviors. The highest level of HR would rather party than protect women especially when women have been complained about being touched by someone inappropriate and then they get in trouble.
