Pros

casual dress code, very good health benefits package, growing company.

Cons

Upper management getting away from the company founders ideas and work ethics. If you don't have a degree, you won't get an interview. that is their policy. I worked under a manager that had favorites (i.e. ass-kissers) and if you didn't play the game garmin life sucked.

Pros

Fairly good benefits, but low pay.

Cons

Very little advancement opportunities. Instead of hiring within, as is one of their main mantras, the company hired a dozen ex-Verizon/T-Mobile supervisors. The company has also done a complete 180 on employee relations and essentially treats their workers as numbers now. Even being a top rated employee involved in many projects, along with literally the best metrics in the company at the time, a 25 cent/hr raise is insulting.
