Pros

Overall, people are nice. Great location, benefits OK except for vacation time. Summer hours.

Cons

It's so big that there is very little accountability and there is a lot of dead weight, it's a place where if you keep your head down, you can get by without knocking yourself out. Management is very decentralized and there is sort of a "not my job" attitude. Not inspiring. THere is good work going on here but a lot of departments are run so completely separately that no one knows what the other is doing. Cubicle hell.

Pros

Decent pay. Not much else.

Cons

No lunch break, no breaks in general, can’t go to the bathroom for hours on end, the managers’ daughter gets special treatment because her mother is in charge. Constant criticism and unfair treatment.
