Pros

-Some great, kind, intelligent people work for this company -Located in the Financial District of SF -Medical and 401k benefits are great, but not much else is offered -The company has a decent amount of events (holiday, employee benefitting events, recognitions) -Down-to-earth, mindful of local pop-culture

Cons

-Many workers not qualified or the best available for the jobs they do and ineffective employees -Hire a lot of cheap work, many employees have terrible communication and critical thinking skills as well as poor work ethic -Budget cuts interfere with department goals while upper management continues to pressure for results -Typical Corporate America popularity contest hierarchy -Salaries are average, raises given for performance are scarce and insignificant, a lot of "title promotions" -Employee facilities are outdated, many departments are forced to pack employees into confined areas while while executive floors often remain empty for weeks during moves
