Pros

Excellent benefits: affordable health/dental insurance, on-site fitness and medical services, 401K match, early release on most Fridays throughout the summer and before holiday weekends.

Cons

Management is dysfunctional. Strategic direction changes frequently, creating a chaotic environment and wasted resources. High levels of churn through associates quitting from frustration or being terminated, creating lack of continuity and loss of knowledge. Overall atmosphere of anxiety and fear of losing one's job. Also a "good old boy" sexist/racist environment. Great products, so it is very unfortunate that the company is so poorly managed and the environment is so toxic.
