Pros

Good pay and benefits. Stable company. Free lunch (even though it is not very good quality food at all). No micromanaging in IT (although I heard that's not the case for other departments).

Cons

This place feels like you're working in a retirement home in 1950. Extremely conservative with a white male catering mentality. Not diverse, no room for self expression or individualism. Dull, boring, depressing building (playing elevator music!!!) in serious need of many updates. Entire company is slow and stuck in the past, especially the technology. Expectation is to work 50 hours per week. No work/life balance. No option to work remotely. Barely any standup desks. Gym is not even open during lunch time. Free food is not that good of quality (surprise)! Little to no investment in employee appreciation activities or events. Will NEVER be able to keep young employees around if changes are not made very soon. CEO has no problem pushing his extreme conservative political views in inappropriate settings. If you're under 40 you will definitely hate it here I guarantee it.

Pros

Located downtown, so very walkable. Optional pet insurance benefit is nice. They don't do layoffs, so very stable company to work for. An OK place to work at as a first job out of college. Provided daily lunch is sometimes really good.

Cons

The building has a roach infestation and they are spotted several times a month. Management tends to play favorites. One manager has been reported to HR multiple times by multiple people across many years for being too aggressive to the point several employees have had mental breakdowns, yet still retains their position. Dress code is business professional despite most never interacting with customers. No work from home at all. Company claims to be secular but very clearly has a Christian lean around Christmas time. Yearly raises do not keep up with inflation. Employees are told they are not to discuss their wages with each other, likely due to pay discrepancies between employees in the same roles.
