Pros

Great West is a wonderful company to work for, but it all depends on which department you are. GW pays for your school and they train you. Their health benefits are wonderful for you and your family. They have a gym and a medical center in their campus. Also, their cafeteria is awesome, great food, from healthy to unhealthy treats. This is an amazing place to work, and they also have cover parking spaces.

Cons

As Fund accountant, you will not have time to take an hour for lunch, not even thirty minutes, not even fifteen minutes...You will be lucky if you can take a break at all. Every day is different!! Moreover, some of the supervisors in this department are moody and cranky. They yell at you and they get away with it.

Pros

Free food. free cab. if you are married women and thinking about family planing you can join this company because you will get work from home after getting pregnant. no need to go to office. specifically if you are Tamilian and your reporting manager is also Tamilian, he will not even raise any concern even if you are taking WFH for full month. you can join this company for family planning and you can think about second addition in your family here only. this is truth.

Cons

No work no career growth. not employee friendly (except for pregnant ladies). on call requirement gathering as well as requirement changes. minimum salary hike. odd work timings. you have work as per US timing. long stretching hours. Managers are not worried about retaining the employees and no conflict resolution skills.
