Pros

Great benefits--401k, paid vacation and sick days, onsite gym and health center

Cons

Managers don't see lower levels as equals, competition/distrust occurs between and within departments. People try to get ahead by gossiping and making others look bad. Managers spy on their workers and rule with fear rather than any actual leading talent. You are expected to get there early and leave late--anything less is seen as not being committed to the company, even if you have a family at home waiting for you. The turnover rate in my department was 50% over the last year, and I'm surprised it's not higher.

Pros

Weekly pay, 2 of the supervisors are sweet.

Everything else, not as friendly as you they put on, Not as diverse as you think it is. Mirco-bullying and racism but they won't admit it and will try to cover it up
