      Pros

      Great benefits, decent pay, casual dress atmosphere

      Cons

      Poor communication from the top when it comes to the call center, and the call center functions totally apart from the rest of the company under a completely different set of rules. Opportunities are tough to come by now thanks to a recently implemented career path that discourages call center employees from applying directly for other jobs at the headquarters building (where the real good jobs are).

      Great work environment for white men, not so much for females or minorities.

      Pros

      Interesting technology and projects, good 401k matching, and cheap health insurance.

      Cons

      The career growth opportunities are very limited (even more so for females and other minorities). I’m in one of the largest departments in the company and, in that department, I am only aware of four people who aren’t white males that have direct reports. If you do join the company for a resume boost, as a female or minority, you have to consider it as an investment of a certain number of years and have an exit plan to move on as you will not have meaningful opportunities for career growth.
