Pros

Free candy and some great associates to work with

Cons

The company stresses the importance of their 5 principles and literally beat them into a new associate upon hiring. The problem with this company is that they do not practice what they preach. The corporate office is a joke with people who pull rank and refuse to acknowledge anyone beneath them. You must walk on eggshells when the family is in the office because heavens forbid they are in a bad mood. On several occasions they have yelled at associates in front of everyone. They have no understanding of how to hire properly or keep the associates who are working well. People have been hired simply to fill a position they were tired of interviewing for only to be fired months later because they were not the right fit. Management there is not competent. The promote the wrong people and give them line management privileges when they lack the people skills or general skills to lead a team.

Pros

Great people who believe in a common mission. Strong leadership and support.

Cons

Budgets and decision making for technical programs are centralized at a high level with little to no consideration for how it affects individual programs and their unique needs. Heavy bureaucracy involved in setting up simple things.
