Pros

They work with my school schedule I love my co workers

Cons

Healthcare premium is so high we cannot see a doctor, they micromanage,treat you like a computer, this place isn't for you if you have a family or any life outside of work oh and on calls 8-12 weeks a year I could go on. Oh and they took my pto when I was out on maternity leave because having a baby is a vacation I guess

Pros

Company pays well, great location, and tries to communicate to staff.

Cons

Very bureaucratic, unable to change/slow to change, staff afraid of managers. Organization structure is heavily built upon contractors which leads to very little incentive to create/participate in a healthy culture.
