Pros
Well coordinated/run organization, especially core infrastructure, compensation and benefits administration, and other back-office logistics. Onsite clinic, great cafeteria, covered parking, numerous lunch and coffee options within walking distance (Clayton, MO location). Plenty of community engagement opportunities across a diverse portfolio of social and economic advocacy groups.
Cons
Public perception in the local community is sometimes negative, or flat/unknown. Since they are not a household name in product (like an AB, Panera, or Build-A-Bear), their only headline news items are usually negative, and centered around real-estate transactions that affect the immediate local citizens (such as parking, traffic, and building codes/strategies). Not necessarily a 'con' on the company's perspective, but more of a reality of not having a household product that the local citizens support and reference every day. While the organization is well run, especially on the back-office logistics, they are not terribly progressive in formal work-from-home flexibility (note: formal). Individual managers remain flexible to retain talent, and work within the confines of policies and directives, but individual experiences will vary. Also helps if you perform, as with any situation, and you'll find yourself in a better situation for flexibility as needed.
