Pros

4/10 work schedule option, you have every other Friday off. Discount on cruises Cafeteria staff is nice and the food is good.

Cons

Management is unwilling to change and accept feedback by employees Departments are unwilling to work together for the same goal/project Business professional attire Work environment is very old and stale No room for growth Unfriendly co-workers, most start as a customer service rep and wait years to move. If someone comes in from the outside, you're look upon has an "outsider". HR is not helpful or knowledgeable in explaining health benefits

Pros

Well, the company gives away a bunch of gifts (including travel) during the holidays, raffle style. Not much beyond that.

Cons

* Incompetent IT "Leadership" * No focus on innovation * Incredibly difficult to get funding for anything * Pay is not very good (definitely below industry standard) * Office politics * Very little work-life balance * Very tight with time-off benefits * Very rigid and stuffy culture * Ivory tower leadership I could go on and on...but, I think you get the point...
