Pros

Great people wok there and they are under new management. The facility in Lisle is top notch with a great cafeteria, coffee bars, and workout facilities.

Cons

This company is in crisis mode, and with crisis management comes difficult decisions about people and products. The financial stability is still weak and uncertain. A lot of terrible decisions were made at the CEO level in the past 5-7 years, and that has put the company one foot in the grave. NAV is under new management and better direction, but it is 3 or 4 years too late. It will be a painful ride back to profitability.

Pros

- Has a cafeteria and Starbucks on site

Cons

- They are not a growing company, recently laid off about 400 people company wide due to financial reasons. There are more lay- offs to come. - There's no camaraderie, especially in Human Resources department. Everyone just goes right to there desk for 8 hours and then leaves for the day. No friendships or how was your weekend and, be aware, you will be thrown under the bus by others for them to get a leg up. - If you do not speak Spanish you will be terminated at some point. I was repeatedly told to start learning Spanish by my boss so she wouldn't have to speak English. I would also be in meetings where my boss and other coworker would start speaking Spanish knowing I couldn't understand what they were discussing and they would get annoyed when I would ask if they could speak in English during our meetings.
