Pros

Work/life balance Extracurricular activities like volunteering, holiday party, team building Onsite yoga, for a fee Onsite massage therapist every other week, for a fee Onsite boot camp twice a week Great location Onsite parking

Cons

The work is very repetitive year to year and there's not much room to grow. As a culture, there are too many meetings and too many decisions that are made by consensus. Very risk adverse and no room to fail. Some people managers need more training to be better people managers and help increase the engagement of individual contributors.

Legacy-based, stodgy organization

Pros

The benefits here are very, very good and they have no choice but to respect work/life balance as an organization who supports such initiatives.

Cons

The answer you will most commonly hear at SHRM is that "this is the way it's always been done." If you consider yourself a progressive, forward thinker this not the place for you. It is very political and the people in management that have been there 10+ years have all the power and throw their weight around to get their way...whether or not it's in the best interest of the organization as a whole.

Pros

Flexible schedules but not fairly offered. Decent but not great salary.

Cons

Dysfunctional, old fashioned, execs don't set much of an example with petty behavior and small thinking. The employee survey was really creepy. They can figure out who you are with all those questions. Pressured to take the survey.
