      Pros

      Flexible hours, good training, and quiet surroundings.

      Cons

      Not much support if you need any technical help. You're expected to be an expert on what you're working on, and you better be because there is no back up personnel for you. You'll spend 75% of your time getting your programs working and gathering information to do your work and 25% actually doing work.

      Not a good place to work if you are in certain departments.

      Pros

      Downtown Los Angeles was a convenient location, but obviously isn't for everyone. Pay was ok, but the key is to start at a higher salary because the raises after you start are minimal at best. Benefits were decent, but the cost of healthcare increased threefold recently. 401k with match(3%)

      Cons

      Not many opportunities to move up or really move anywhere. Raises were minimal. Most employees cycled out either voluntarily or not within a couple years. Some people were fired for contrived reasons. Management had their favorites and you have to play their game. Mangement is completely inept, taking zero responsibility for anything and making it so that the lower level employees were always the ones on the hook. Training is terrible and inadequate, if you get it at all. A favorite saying of the managers is "Why didn't you ask?" Well, that should be the job of the managers to teach employees about procedures, etc. right?

      Good co-workers, incompetent senior managers

      Pros

      If your goal is to get a paycheck: • Co-workers get along well • Good location in downtown • Work is repetitive but easy • The company is one of the leaders in the industry

      Cons

      • Conservative management, does not value new ideas presented by employees • Unstable work atmosphere, positions and personnel changes every month. • Unclear job responsibilities because of the high turnover rate of employees • Minimal career growth or promotions unless you are hired as a manager • A lot of office politics
