Little to no vacation time.

Pros

Um... not sure what the pros are. I'm employed. Mostly nice people, but a few rotten apples in the bunch. Guess I need to get to 20 words. Am I there yet? We'll see.

Cons

Vacation time is lacking. Very behind the industry. Probably costing the company a lot of money in lost productivity. Many colleagues are a bit too high-strung as a result. Others are distracted and not focused in the moment. Amazing they haven't fixed this yet.

Solid Company That Needs to Adapt Culturally

Pros

Company is run well and employees some smart and hard working people. Have been able to weather downturns in the economy with strong focus on being efficient and investing in technology

Cons

Culturally the company is behind with the times. Professional attire required in the corporate office regardless of position. When it comes to perks, flexible work arrangements, etc. they don't seem to realize its the 2000s. Good boys vibe from C-Suite, and at times seems like they still think its the 1970s.

Pros

Good opportunity for advancement, typically will not stay in the same position for more than 12 months. Good retirement plans and 401k matching up to 5%

Cons

Extremely corporate work environment. Business casual dress is required. Not the most appealing environment for young professionals. No free coffee. Campus feels very corporate and outdated.
