Pros

Great people to work with. Enjoy the work for the most part. Large company with the ability to work all over USA.

Cons

Benefits are very much lacking compared to peer group firms. Many layers of management I don't understand at all. HR, IT, Payroll is all outsourced to 3rd world countries. Absolute terrible service.

Pros

Pretty much none, unless you like sitting around and doing absolutely nothing.

Cons

Horrible onboarding. The work was meaningless and extremely inefficient. The managers did absolutely nothing. They had some weird obsession with outsourcing work, while at the same time complaining that there wasn't enough work to do. No-one knew how to use technology at any level. Do not work at this company.
