Pros

Large company with many departments for job change. The new headquarters in Atlanta is a very modern office.

Cons

This company has been on the decline for many years. They have no idea what their corporate strategy is or how to execute it. They have lost or laid off the top talent that could run the business well, and are left with people that have no idea.

Pros

-Fellow analysts were great and fun to work with -Definitely felt like a family there until you got higher up then they were a little shady

Cons

-Management spent more time watching what we were doing than what they helping to fix the problems we were facing head on -Basically told to lie to the customers so that we didn't look like we were the ones at fault -There was no real structure at the time as they had acquired new customers and didn't have a sense of direction while I was there -The environment makes people look too tired and depressed to care some days
