      Great Benefits, Inconsistent Employee Development

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The benefits are great, with 3 options to choose from for medical. You have your choice of a transit pass for $8 taken out of every paycheck, or a parking pass for around $60 a paycheck. Tries to support work/life balance with a 38.75hr work week. Business casual dress code--most people wear jeans.

      Cons

      Training is sub-par and seems to be an after thought with much of the management. Advancement is not consistent with seniority or meritocracy; it is at the whim of the management as to who will progress and who will stay behind.

      Needs real managers, quiet job

      Pros

      Great benefits, some nice people, quiet, had been friendly for the most part. Pay is decent but needs to give raises more. Lots of vacation time if you stick around. I've worked in multiple departments which is a nice option.

      Cons

      Poor communication, people are scared to speak up. Low morale lately. Positive for several years until new management was hired. Good ole boys club and surprisingly sexist. Bad communications and resistant to change. Monthly expense report approval takes too long because management ignores our requests. I was able to find better job but this one was okay to get by.

      Pros

      Great pay, flexible hours, can work from home if you need. The company is growing so great chances to move up. The people and managers are all nice and treat you as a equal.

      Cons

      I have not run into any cons. Company is growing so many new hires but this is not always a bad thing.
