Pros

Nice staff, building, cafeteria Can wear jeans to work. Flexible work schedule depending on department can be nice

Cons

Management is awful. So many AVPs that they just hold meetings all day and don't do any work. Management communication is non existent and they have no sense of how to relate to employees. Management constantly passes the buck and will throw their employees under the bus to save their own skin even though they have no clue of the day to day operations. Training is terrible and non existent. Year end bonuses have become a joke and good luck getting more than a 2% raise even if you have an excellent yearly review.
