Pros

Can't think of any. I was employed

Cons

Where does one begin. Asks for way too much and the compensation isn't sufficient for what is required. No flexibility. Like most,company extremely top heavy with senior management receiving mid to upper six figure salaries. Concerned more with ranking highest on great places to work rather than BEING a great place to work. Huge disconnect between management and employees who actually do the work. More concerned with "appearances" than realities. Moves entire departments from.site to sure with no regard as to how those changes will affect employees. Does not stick to promises made. Follow through horrible. All in all NOT a great place to work unless one is senior manager, ( CEO, VP, SVP,EVP). CEO dumped over 126k in stock collecting over $4 million all the while they were shutting down entire departments. These appears to be common practices with this company. Spends more $$ on handing out tshirts and tumblers and handing out pizza as opposed to simply paying employees a living wage and bragging about how they're a $6 billion dollar company. Easy to be that when senior execs only people enjoying huge salaries. Was not a pleasant experience to work there at all.

Pros

Work/Life Balance - multiple work from home situations Benefits - offer insurance for pets Opportunity to switch jobs every 2 years

Cons

Top level executives all look the same and come from same background Too many executives leading to many people trying to prove their job is needed Lots of negative energy, poking holes in projects without providing solutions No ownership, too many chefs in the kitchen, lots of red tape Team building events end up with people derogatory and offensive comments since majority of people look like them and have the same political affiliations

Pros

Very flexible with your schedule and what you can do as far as time off goes. Some of the best benefits you will find in a company. Rewarded based on performance, with a bonus sometimes equaling a whole extra paycheck if you’re decent at your job.

Cons

Stressful dealing with customers who already can’t afford their bills and calling them at inconvenient hours for them. When they hang up or do something beyond your control, it can impact your performance and bonus.
