Pros

The only real reason to work here is to gain experience and build your resume and then take it with you somewhere better.

Cons

Many, many cons. Based upon my experience, hostile working environment, not-so-great pay (not even really market competitive), micromanagement hell, heavy workload, few growth opportunities, upper management absolutely does not care about employees, high turnover. Typically there are layoffs every year in February like clockwork. I write all this not to be vindictive but in the hopes that someone gets some brutally honest information from a former employee’s perspective based upon their experience and that I help offer a good person some things to consider before making a decision to work there. Also, don’t believe what you read about ability to work from home. They are not flexible in that way. Raises and bonuses (if you get either) are done with extreme scrutiny and penny pinching even for the better employees. If you want to work for a typical not so great corporate America type environment, then this place is the epitome.

Pros

Bonus is good and so are the people

Cons

The company has changed. Salaries aren’t competitive compared to the market and the pressure is extremely high. No room for growth in some departments. Senior leadership are driving people away in droves.
