Good First Year, Terrible Second

Pros

Reasonably stable company, well-known, going to be difficult to lose your job if you do it well (for the most part).

Cons

Poor environment. Didn't like the direction the company was headed, shrinking, profitability issues, executive management not all aligned on the same page.

Pros

Starting pay is very competitive. Vacation time is great compared to most large corporations. Regional offices tend to have friendly, competent managers and lower-level employees.

Cons

In order to be considered for any significant promotion, you must be willing and ready to move to Northbrook, IL. The corporation has been long talking about the importance of a virtual workplace, but the stigma attached to workers who actually telecommute makes it obvious that management believes that "work" is a place and not an action. Tenure and mobility are CLEARLY more rewarded than ability. Executives (CEO especially) are grossly overpaid for the quarter after quarter of negative results they deliver.

Pros

Generous benefits (PTO, medical premiums recently reduced, wellness incentives).

Cons

Slow pay growth, conservative raises for the past 5 years, 401(k) match tied to customer loyalty index.
