Pros
Market average pay rate for the position. Decent opportunities for either standard workweeks or overtime depending on what you're looking for. Nice office in downtown Chicago with all the benefits working in West Loop brings. Many remote work and travel opportunities, depending on your position. Decent benefits choices. If you know the right people, you could end up with many possibilities for advancement. The new executive team is a step in the right direction.
Cons
Managerial dishonesty and lack of integrity here is huge. I have personally watched senior managers at the VP and Director level physically and verbally intimidate their direct reports. I have watched some senior leaders at the Director and VP level intimidate and try to coerce female employees into situations that made me, a bystander, feel uncomfortable. HR knows about this misconduct, but it is swept under the rug as many higher ups in that department are unwilling to take action against their personal friends. Not every manager was like this, but the bad ones vastly overshadowed the small group of people determined to do the right things and make positive changes. This company severely lacks transparency. Reorganization of many departments has happened this year and the way they were handled left a very sour taste in my mouth as I watched many coworkers and friends worry about their future with the company. You will never, ever feel your position is safe at this company if you work at the professional salaried level. Any dissension or deviation from what the company's latest initiatives could be a terminal offense. Ideas are not welcome here and you must follow the party line if you'd like to keep your job. This company believes their managers should have "leadership" skills above all else. Your manager will not have a clue about the intricacies or even the broadest overview of your daily work tasks; many of the projects I worked on felt like I was trying to get water from a stone because my superiors agreed to take on things that were seemingly impossible. As many other reviewers have said, the recent positive reviews seem fake but I have no way to prove that.
