Pros

The Time Off is Epic; most of the people are great; the benefits are good, the quality of the product is good

Cons

Promised that I would be promoted to Dean if I got a Masters -- I spent a lot of time & $ to get my MBA but was never promoted despite having the best metrics of all of my collegues; President said he's always availble, "open door" but if you try to talk to him you get in trouble; Always got outstanding reviews on performance evals until I worked for one particular Dean, then he gave me a negative review because a customer complained about him and I reported it to a higher up. I complained to HR of retailiation and was told it was unfounded. After that I could get no traction. He was the VP's Darling boy and could do no wrong even though HE didn't produce the results, I did. I worked there 13 years -- I would have left after 6 but I had personal financial commitments & I couldn't afford to leave. As soon as I could afford it, I quit.

Pros

Great work environment, a lot of the workers are very knowledgeable and never minded making sure I understood everything even though I was just an intern. Sometimes even giving me challenges to make sure I was paying attention to details and taking in the advice and knowledge over the time I was there.

Cons

I can’t really think of any cons, everyone was very nice and considerate. They made sure I had what I needed and taught me what I didn’t know yet.
