Pros

It is owned by Berkshire Hathaway which provides some stability. Overall, the benefits are small in comparison with the drawbacks. If you are interested in working there I would recommend you do extensive research to make sure you are placing yourself in a "workable" business unit. Corporate in Virginia seems to the best choice within the company as far as managerial and cultural dynamics. Your experience can vary widely because the company is very fragmented. They offer an interesting commuter tax shelter if you spend a lot on parking, train, or bus transportation. If you drive to work and do not pay for parking then the system has no advantages as gas is not a qualified expense.

Cons

Overall the largest drawback is a lack of vision, communication, direction, and skilled management. The company seems to have an identity crisis and is unsure of what services it wants to offer. Business units are often completely oblivious to each other and may even deny affiliation with another unit simply because they have not been informed of it's existence. Many of the positions have no written job description and I found that you are often heavily assigned "extra" projects that have no relevance to your job title. Their internal billing system causes a lot of customer dissatisfaction which is becoming a point of customer loss for the whole company. The benefits package is not competitive.

Pros

The furniture made is often of good quality

Cons

At the Las Vegas corporate office, there is often allot of unprofessional and unethical behavior exhibited by some staff. Allot of management lie, many do not follow up on anything and they use punitive punishment against people who make complaints that they don't like. I was subject to puerile attempts at harassment for complaining about issues that were straight down the line black and white as being not workplace appropriate. They were dishonest about career progression opportunities and timeframes Their onsite HR is ineffective , they do not attempt to fairly arbitrate any dispute or enforce minimal standards of professional workplace norms; they often regurgitate and parrot whatever management advises. In the corporate office some managers behaved in a manner more appropriate to a playground than a corporate office. I had issues where confidential complaints I made were verbally told to the people being complained about; meetings were sometimes deliberately held where the complainee was able to hear what was being said. Las Vegas office has a culture of entrenched cronyism. There was also an absurd level of PC surveillance and remote monitoring, resulting in files getting mixed up and needed workplace apps not working or breaking down. Epithets; aggressive and unhelpful staff; some staff regularly engaged in obnoxious workplace behaviors because it was tolerated and at times encouraged. If you opt to work here, expect a very low bar as the norms of proprietary; and ethicality are barely existent.
