Pros

Flexible work hours and centrally located office.

Cons

The environment of office was highly negative. Nobody enjoyed their work. People were underpaid relative to comparable positions at competitors. Company seemed happy to allow high turnover in exchange for inexpensive labour. Minimal assistance for continuing education.

Pros

Friendly co-workers, EXCELLENT mentoring program (provided you get a mentor that cares), good benefits, plenty of opportunity to move within the company-- provided you know the right people.

Cons

VERY low starting pay; nearly impossible to live off as a new college grad. Hard to get interviews in other departments unless you know the right people (I.E. have recommendations from an SVP, etc.). If I did not have good references, it would have been nearly impossible for me to get interviews in the corporate finance group coming from the operations group.

Pros

The only pro I can see working here is the flexible hours, nothing else other than that.

Cons

Just another employee, all about profits, low pay, low bonus, yearly review you have to be walking on water to get anything higher than meets expectations.
