Pros

Great benefits, including a 4% 401k match and 10% non-elective contribution to your retirement plan. Access to a health club in many of it's buildings as well.

Cons

Manufactured drama by superiors to make mountains out of molehills, especially when you hit the 10 year anniversary. As soon as I hit my 10 year anniversary, they started targeting me and nit picking my work. I immediately got my first bad review. That increased my stress levels and caused me to start having migraines. This "managing out" is not productive because Crewmembers simply give up trying to chase the unattainable (think, Office Space) and begin to ignore the drama and do their own thing.

Pros

Awesome coworkers for young professionals. Paid licensing for a few months.

Cons

Micromanagement is out of control. Incompetent team leaders who are obsessed with power and metrics. Back to back calls, limited support, and nearly impossible effective communication between departments. Zero time to cultivate culture because you are taking calls every second of the day except for 30min/1hr lunch and two 15 minute breaks. You’re locked into your role for over a year (apprenticeship for around 60 days, then a year after promotion to associate) and your team leaders will not approve internal applications unless you are “eligible”.
