Pros

Good coworkers, PTO is easy to use if resonable, work from home available. Good lower management.

Cons

This company has changed it's direction for the last few years. So much so, that you don't even know where it is headed. There is a reorganization about every 6-8 months that usually starts with laying off employees, and concludes with hanging a severence over their head. While my title has remained the same I have changed roles in the company about 5 times with no incentive compensation or choice. It's very hard to develop a career in this environment. Promotions are usually only give via a reorganization. Finally, employees here are vastly underpaid compared to both local and national averages. I have personally been at or near the minimum salary since I started.

Pros

great account management team. Great bosses. pension. decent benefits. managers allow flexibility.

Cons

the account managers are the only ones held accountable. other departments don't answer emails for weeks, don't do their jobs and no one in upper management cares. directly effects account managers so you get yelled at by clients and brokers a lot. don't get paid enough to do the job of the account manager and take on the other departments work.
