Pros

There aren't many pros at this company. Maybe the new remodeled floors at the Goode building. It's close to chick fila.

Cons

Very political and way to much favoritism. Low merit percentages. No bonus for employees but upper management got stock options and select employees received "special awards" of stock. Some managers are lazy and throw the people who work for them under the bus! Salaries are lower than same positions at other companies.

Pros

Depending on the team you are in, it can be very flexible, and you’ll be working with nice people.

Cons

HR needs to step in more, they are supposed to set a precedent yet it seems like the higher ups in different departments actually set the expectations. Which can be toxic, and some managers clearly don’t know how to manage teams. HR seems to be a nice and fun department, but the rest of the company has lackluster reviews. Also, stop advertising a total rewards package to new hires when you need to work over fiver years to get some benefits and due to the merger they won’t actually get that package. Just raise your base salaries.
