Pros

-Cheap, high quality food in the cafeteria -Plenty of empty conference rooms where you can contact your recruiter to get you out!

Cons

-Company NEEDS to upgrade their technology ASAP (They're stuck in the 90's -- No Microsoft Outlook... really?) -Need to upgrade their facilities --Bathrooms are gross, carpets are stained and coming up, elevator floors creaks, antique appliances in the pantry (might be good for The Antique Roadshow), etc -No free coffee/tea -The commute to the office is horrendous -The people are weirdos. It seems as if they hire the people that other companies turn down.

Pros

Most areas experience a favorable work/life balance. 401K is quite good compared to other companies. Benefit package was historically very good, however, each year it gets progressively worse.

Cons

Very poor leadership and direction. Timey communication to employees is almost non-existent. Many new leaders were brought in these last 2 years and they are not well liked by the employees. There is an overall lack of trust of management.
