Pros

The pay and benefits are good. There are some terrific employees (many of which are frustrated by lack of support.). The company believes in community service.

Cons

If you’re a woman you can probably forget getting promoted at this company and if you do, expect to be micromanaged. Not unusual for managers to say one thing to your face and something entirely different behind your back. HR is there to keep the company out of court, not to help employees. It’s absolutely impossible to know who to trust. And if you’re in your fifties they can’t wait to either show you the door or find a way to make you miserable enough to want to leave on your own accord. Unless, of course, you are a somewhat competent male.
