Pros

Great benefits all around, especially the 401k Decent pay, but still below average for the industry Depending on your location, some people are great Own multiple subsidiaries that you can work for No drug testing

Cons

Poor executive management - investment bankers are running the company into the ground just like they did when they were head of their banks Middle management doesn't seem like they want you to succeed, they don't help in ways for you to move up in the company Brown-nosers get ahead in the company instead of the hard workers, even when you clearly outperform the brown-nosers No where to grow, this company is a dead end for your career This company is going through layoffs every 6 months, never feel like you're safe

Pros

free coffee, free air. some free junk but not healthy food.

Cons

VP ran this place like a sweatshop, requiring people to support around the clock including most weekends, producing below par product for the University of Phoenix, which was not a great place in the first place. Its no wonder students are dropping off from enrollment like flies due to lack of quality in the product faculties and students are using daily. Most of time and effort are spent doing rework, and asses covering for each other in management. Software deployment takes days. Really? is it really rocket science? or bunch of incompetence folks creating emergency situations and solving them at the 47th hour to be heroic? Mid-level management collude to protect each others and the product quality suffers and so do the students and faculties, students drop off and thus revenue. Lots of gold bricks taking up the office space and not carrying their weights. <B>STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!! PEOPLE ARE RUNNING MAD FROM THIS PLACE AS THOUGH A FIRE HAS BROKE OUT!!!</B>

Pros

Many business leaders are really excellent in guiding their departments, setting clear expectations and rationales for those expectations that enable their employees to shine. These departments are a joy to work for and with, and consistently deliver on the expectations they set.

Cons

Other business leader fail to provide consistent leadership, promoting employees to senior positions who make false reports about what they've delivered, and retaliating against people who object to this. Some of these leaders really are emperors with no clothes, showing a complete disregard for the truth.
