Pros

Pay is above average for the area

Cons

Awful leadership No training Chief Operator made racist and sexual comments on multiple occasions. No repercussions. They actually promoted him and put him into meeting with the woman he was making perverted comments about.

Pros

one of the largest companies in the industry with lots of interesting projects, if you are lucky enough to be on one.

Cons

The company is so large that it is very difficult to be seen by management for all of your hard work and dedication. Pay is based on your years of service not necessarily based on your performance. Young ambitious professionals outperforming their more seasoned co-workers can be overlooked and taken advantage of. Managers tend to worry more about looking good for corporate for their next promotion instead of building up their young professionals. Better off getting your experience elsewhere and joining with several years of experience under your belt at a higher-level position.
