Pros

benefits, casual work environment, dress casual, friendly work environment, people are nice to work with, professional atmosphere and diversity of staff, flexibility of lunches, etc. Every other Friday off at 1:30 for select employees.

Cons

used to have 37.5 hour work week, recently changed to 40 hours, no salary increase for year 2009 (company wide) and minimal salary increase for 2010. Moral of employees seems a bit disgruntled at times, due to lack of communication, workload and other deciding factors. No actual training department, so your pretty much on your own. No formal HR/benefit/401k overview..must call 800# for more info on the subject.

Pros

Friendly atmosphere People are generally nice and helpful Global presence Flexible

Cons

Depending on the department, it can be difficult to grow once you get to a certain stage Senior management are not aware of the nitty gritty Too much procedural steps People are very afraid to step on others toes which can result in burying too many things under the carpet and not dealing with issues effectively.

Pros

Great place if you're entrepreneurial and hungry. There's little support, which is both a blessing and a curse. Opportunities are always present to learn, grow and prove yourself. The meek need not apply and often get lost in the shuffle. Great access to a diversify client base.

Cons

The fat has been trimmed in recent years - current business is understaffed to meet the demand. Too many new processes and staffing shortages has left little time to take advantage of an improving economy. Management was overly focused on internal challenges rather than client work
