      Started out good, now it's crazier than ever.

      Pros

      Good benefits and great people to work with. If you like constant change, you'll love working here.

      Cons

      Too much change happening too fast. We've gone from a company that took a long time rolling out new products and services to rolling them out too fast and not learning from our mistakes.

      Prepare to be micromanaged.

      Pros

      Good benefits. Decent pay. Consistent annual bonus. Flexible work arrangements with part- time telecommuting. Rock solid company.

      Cons

      Micromanagement of every-day decisions has gotten out of control. Constant, revolving door changing of processes. "Too much A, Not enough B. Now too much B, and Not enough A." Over and over and over, year after year. Management preaches independent decision making, but then requires constant justification of minutiae. Too many decisions based on assumptions rather than thorough analysis of data.

      Good company, but stay out of the Legal Department!

      Pros

      The company has many positive initiatives and promotes advancement, whether it's real is not clear. Plenty of training available.

      Cons

      Managers are poor and it can be difficult to form positive relationships.
