Pros

Located in downtown Boise, ID

Cons

Horrible mental models. Stuck in the past, not open to challenge or new ways of thinking/working. Attempts at bullying and intimidation from peers and supervisors. Perverse ideas around work/life balance. Promotion based on who has the longest tenure and is most similar to the promoting supervisor. Terrible culture - lacking vision, value and principles of doing business. Utterly boring line of business and co-workers.

Pros

HQ building is pretty cool and you can get some neat tours of company facilities. Work life balance is generally pretty good.

Cons

The company just has no idea what its doing regarding IT. Most management has been there 25+ years and still wants to operate like its the 90s. Head of IT is an accountant and the department is treated like a necessary evil and employees are told they provide no tangible value. Making any kind of impact is actively discourage and 'stay in your lane' is a core tenet. If you want to just show up, grind, and go home, this is the place for you.
