Pros

Tons of amenities, fabulous peer collaboration, supportive peer to peer learning environment, flexible work opportunities. Great interactive training videos to help learn company policies. They are a nice break from the hectic day to day duties. Company is growing and constantly adding jobs. My current position isn't ideal, but I can see several roles to move into when the time is right. It will allow me to stay at a great company at another capacity that is aligned with my career goals.

Cons

There are some business leaders that do not deal well with adversity. It brings the morale down in a department where most people are happy and eager to collaborate. Some managers are virtually unapproachable on a bad day which happens frequently. Its a bad reflection on an otherwise great company. Not too keen on the GBSC ticket program. People processing the tickets are up against such a tight deadline that they want to resolve the ticket, but not necessarily resolve it with the right information. This causes the tickets to get resubmitted and become fires.
