Pros

- great learning experience on how to do things on your own - great company culture - invests in employees (schooling) - great benefits/salary

Cons

- leadership is lacking and no clear direction of where the company wants to go. - the HR department is ineffective, lots of learning to do. - teams do not feel supported, as long as the manager is an "earner" can get away with anything. - learn by trial and error, senior staff does not teach or show you the FRB way. -can be difficult to manage a work/life balance.

Pros

Kaiser health plan is cheap as dirt 3 weeks paid vacation after one year of work Discretionary bonuses approaching 6% of annual income Subsidized cafe with cheap meals

Cons

Abusive, threatening, and delusional management. HR is incapable of resolving issues. Many department heads are remnants of the small company that emerged in the 80s. Technology is far behind and bizarrely allocated. Lots of nepotism. Bureaucratic workplace. Promotions are often title based instead of income. Prepare for an annual wage increase that barely offsets inflation. Negative attitude and laziness of most employees.

Pros

The company consistently grows year after year, has great people, and does its best to keep the service culture. One may develop some great professional friendships there.

Cons

Since so many new people have been hired at all levels, keeping the culture is its biggest challenge. Those that keeps their head down to get things done must demonstrate their value to all. If you work there, do not be humble, show everyone how they benefit from your work.
