Some positives, a lot of cons

Pros

Salary for the region is average if you hire into the company. Flexible work time is good if you have a manager that is willing to let you use it.

Cons

The onsite daycare is not a benefit. Most employees do not use it because it is overpriced even with the employee discount and is not managed appropriately. Location is not good. On my first day, I was told to adjust my work schedule according to the season because I did not want to walk through the parking lot at night. I witnessed a gun battle about 1 pm on the street in front of the building. People are shifted into new positions frequently with no imput from the employee. Often the job does not match the employee's strengths or experience.

Pros

Business teams are very knowledgeable and team oriented. Majority of the folks on the business side are team players looking out for each other Opportunities to change jobs or even careers with in company. Many perks with in the company (e.g. Discounts on products, On-Site Credit Union, Good Health benefits, etc..). More than I can name.

Cons

Information Technology team is managed very poorly. Annual merit increases and bonuses are lacking Too many re-orgs which can impact employee's career Over all management lacks the ability to retain talent
