Pros

Depending on which group and individual you work for, there is a lot of flexibility when it comes to work hours. If you need to take care of your family or other personal business, you can work weekends or after hours to make up the time, on a limit basis and with the approval of your supervisor. Decent pay and benefits, company pride's themselves on being middle of road when it comes to compensation and benefits.

Cons

Since going "For Profit" status with the IRS, all management has been very critical of revenue performance. the focus has shifted from quality services to speed of services (to bill client's sooner than waiting for a quality product). Significant stress and threats of layoffs if segment or business unit does not succeed. Lots of bureaucracy and too many layers of management.

Pros

WFH policy and great coworkers.

Cons

Role eliminated while executives and higher-ups spend ridiculous amounts of money on travel to "conferences", while transitioning the team to all contract/external employees to alleviate "budgeting" costs. Leaders continue to appease to higher-ups and C-level executives without a care or understanding of current team dynamics to protect themselves in a cutthroat and toxic environment filled with corporate politics. 0 growth for internal designers at below market salaries (20-25%) and below average benefits- when mentioned to leaders, profits are increasing YOY, yet the discussion becomes a "let's circle back" while 10+ contractors are immediately brought on board.
