Pros

The company's goals and their core objectives are admirable. It was amazing working for a company that was so committed to literacy and education. The people in my department were spectacular.

Cons

I never went anywhere. I was never promoted (the "Senior" only got tacked on to my job title because I think my boss knew I was feeling frustrated with my lack of upward progress. There was no raise to accompany the change.) I never received any substantial annual pay raises. Any attempts to move to another job within the company over the ten years I was there were rejected. It became extremely frustrating to work there when I felt like I was expected to simply be grateful for the job I had and not expect anything more.

Pros

If you have a family, work-at-home is lenient and maternity leave is wonderful. People generally get in at 9:00 and leave at 5. Amazing benefits and friendly, young employees.

Cons

Some business units are doing mass layoffs, employees aren't encouraged to switch departments or move up with their talents, lots of overuse of freelancers and temps, backbiting, and understaffing.
