Pros

Great work life balance: flex 9x80 schedule provides every other Friday off and company provides 12 paid holidays; benefits have decreased in the last year but overall I think its still a decent package

Cons

Expectation that you will move to achieve higher leadership positions (or wait several years to (maybe) get them without moving); very good focus on 0-5 year employees, providing opportunities to advance but not very good at higher levels (you must find your own opportunities and leadership is not shaping opportunities for you based on your skills and strengths); integration of several businesses over the last few years has been challenging on the teams

Pros

- Flexible working hours, plus a 9 x 80 work schedule means you can almost always have fridays off or working from home. - Good amenities for 1980s standard, there's a gym with an old basketball and tennis court, and a baseball field for rec activities - One mediocre cafeteria in the main building - ability to interface with many employees in various fields of work, but not likely that they will want to work with you - pay is *decent* for the area standards

Cons

- This program and team is filled with people with 20+ years of experience, and hardly any with less than 5. Older employees often stuck in their own ways unwilling to learn new processes. - It is difficult to work with some employees, especially those assigned more responsibilities than they can handle. - People with an overload of work often are not able to complete work to standard, and if you work relies on it then forget about it.
