      Benefits are great, if you can handle the ridicule and cult mentality

      Pros

      Benefits and salary are great....

      Cons

      This company lets you go the moment you speak up or try to defend yourself. They say you have unlimited sick days, but if you take more than 3 a year, you are let go. You are monitored from the moment you walk in the door until the moment you leave. Every phone call is recorded, the time you use the bathroom is recorded, your breaks are recorded. It is an extremely rigid, confining enviornment.

      It is a good place to work if you can meet their extremely high expectations, and you should like sports.

      Pros

      Benifits,Benefits,Benefits!! The starting salary was very good with annual bonuses and full medical from day one for the whole family. The work hours were very condusive for dropping the kids off at school plus no weekend work. They have an extremely high metric system of work performance that each employee needs to live up to, but if you can one could retire comfortably.

      Cons

      The monthly reviews were not neccessarily a downside because you knew exactly where your job performance level was but sometimes a supervisor would tell you one thing then hold you in a different light upon the numbers during review. One was never done being reviewed for job performance, so if you can live up to their expectations you are good to go.

      Was a fantastic place to work until they decided it was my time to go.

      Pros

      Benefits are second to none, nice work environment, good work-life balance, nice perks such as tickets to sports and cultural events.

      Cons

      Zero job security - don't be fooled, it is true they have never had a lay-off, because when they decide they don't need you anymore, they will blatantly lie on your reviews and let you know that your job is in jeopardy. You will then either leave on your own because of the horrible new environment, or you will eventually get fired because you were "not meeting expectations". I am not a disgruntled ex-employee, but someone who has seen first-hand how this company can destroy your life based only on the whim of one person.
