Cons

1. It is difficult to move upwards in this company because employees stay in their jobs for a long time. 2. Because the benefits are so good, the pay is lower than competition. 3. There is nepotism and favoritism in the organization.

Pros

The benefits are wonderful including the health care package, reimbursement for day care, supported preventative health care services and programs, etc. SAS pays fairly based on the locale. The profit sharing and retirement funding seems fair for a private company.

Cons

No real career paths defined or realistic opportunities for those of us that are career focused instead of job focused. Lower level / new management and leadership training does not exist. If you want to grow your existing technical skills, that exists. However if you want training to promote yourself into a leadership role, it's all on you to driver yourself and hope that it meshes with the "SAS-way".

Pros

SAS employees enjoy a supportive environment, outstanding opportunities for professional growth, and a chance to help SAS drive the new economy and provide innovative solutions for business decision makers across the globe.

Cons

The company pays slightly below market-average salaries and it's a very conservative company that typically isn't first to adopt cutting-edge technologies.
