Pros

We have a shiny new building close to Crocker Park! That's about it. Most of the positive comments on other posts have been planted there in response to the true responses. I should add though that it is an interesting product and you do learn about some neat ways that people invest and make money in their IRA.

Cons

Top executives are pitted against each other. I have actually witnessed screaming matches between 2 longer term C-level leaders. I should say many of us did since it was right in front of everyone. When "leadership" reads a new book that becomes the new flavor of the month management philosophy. Examples: TopGrading "we only retain A players", Jobs, "we are just like Apple", etc. The gym, new building are just for show. There is not a humane thought process in the leadership team. More than once I have heard when an error has occurred, "who do we fire?". You get the sense that there is not a strong moral compass from "leadership", well at least when they are actually there.

Pros

The paid time off is good

Cons

Works employees to death - tons of mandatory overtime required Management does not support employees Yearly bonuses were taken away for monthly bonuses just so the company doesn’t have to pay out bonuses. You cannot make a single mistake because they don’t believe in the fact that humans make mistakes. You will get written up and put on a PIP. No chance to move up in the company, they already have the people that they want and they will pick and choose who to put in what positions. STAY AWAY!
