Pros

1. Good benefits. 2. A little above average pay structure for managers. 3. Tuition reimbursement, but with a cap that makes the time for program completion difficult.

Cons

No direction from your supervisor. Everyone is afraid to make a decision so you spend endless hours on conference calls and in meetings just spinning your wheels.The employee review and appraisal system is a joke. In order to protect HR from lawsuits everyone is lumped into a general set of objectives. The keeps the possibilities for advancement or promotions to small amount. You still have the "good old boys club" mentality as a standard for daily operations. The small number of managers that speak up are often demonized and made to suffer consequences for doing so.

Pros

The company has good medical and dental benefits, education reimbursement, work out facility on site, healthy lunch options, on site cafeteria, coffee shop, and store. The company also promotes education.

Cons

You can not move to the next level in this company unless you fit in and management likes you. Also i dont care what level of degree you have unless you go through job levels meaning admin, analyst, senior analyst, and so on you can not be promoted to a higher. The way this company thinks defeats the purpose of getting a degree. I recently had a manger in Tulsa tell me to stop applying for upper level positions because they would not give them to me unless i went though there levels no matter how many degrees i had.
