Pros

Benefits are fantastic, the full gym, lots of half-day Fridays during the summer, good health insurance and wellness benefits for those who are healthy. There are little pockets of high-performers in each department, once you find them, it makes working here a lot better. Compensation is very competitive.

Cons

The culture is stuck in the dark ages - they're not flexible, open or communicative with their associates. People hoard information and there is little trust across the organization. This is not the place for young professionals/millennials who need more than a 8-5 and want real engagement and real, quick results.
