Pros

Good learning experience and they have good insurance benefits. Typically longer vacation periods.

Cons

They have little recognition for employees. The communication is horrible through the corporate ladder. I always felt like I was finding things out last minute. The compensation is definitely want of the worst in Kansas City. Expect to work over time on a regular basis. not worth the pay time or energy.

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

The company has a great severence package. Unfortunately thats a pro because they are laying off workers every 3 months until most of operations are offshore. Decent 401k match and vacation.

Cons

Layoffs, pay is low. Return to office mandate.
