Pros

When the company first moved to the Charlotte area, it was a great company to work for, then the company started merging and the opportunities became fewer and far between.

Cons

The management staff does not do a good job of coaching for career development. The advancement opportunities only go to the employees who are the favorites and not for the ones who are qualified to do the job.

Pros

One of the few large companies in San Diego, this is price you have to pay to stay in sunny SD. They pay reasonably well when compared to others in the area. Benefits are ok but not great. Soda machines are $0.25, thats really the only extra you get. Very fast paced, which has a lot of pros and many cons, the pros are that you will never get bored as work is always coming, everyday something new comes up, from the moment you walk in the door in the morning until you leave in the evening you will have something to do and usually running around. (see below for the cons)

Cons

Its a large company with way too many managers and not enough people actually doing the work. A lot of meetings and not enough action. No cafeteria on site or any lunch places walking distance, also the coffee stinks. Because its fast paced you don't really have time to think clearly on things, process improvement is talked about but its really hard to implement with the little free time you have, its hard to get actual work done since you are running at 100 miles an hour in between meetings.
