Pros

Benefits are good, offices are nice, dress is business casual. There are some good guys here, like my boss, but they are very rare.

Cons

If you look at the tenure of people at Argo, majority would be under 3 years. No one knows anything because of the constant turnover. Most "employees" are actually contractors. It's chaotic, stressful and unfriendly. So called leaders don't even speak to people. H.R. is a joke, I.T. systems are awful, though not due to the I.T. staff that have been constantly laid off and built back up numerous times. Contributions are not valued here. This is a private enterprise for the executives at the top who hold all the reins and the company suffers because of it. I don't know it it's too late to change the tides here. If you have choices, my advice to you is keep looking. If you don't have options, take the job, act like an egomaniac and hide in your office all day (it's normal, you'll fit in perfectly).

Pros

Good Benefits and coffee available

Cons

Big on hiring from the outside for senior positions instead of looking internally. On going freeze on raises, that has become a permanent. HR culture of paying new hires more, while relying on existing staff to remain at current compensation. Encouragement of leaders to post reviews on social media sites to improve ratings. Nearly impossible to reward an employee for working hard. It creates a tough environment to work in.

Pros

Great benefits and experience.

Cons

Management is constantly trying to fix the "budget" at the expense of most workers without sacrifice to perks. Employees (not in management positions) are expected to work the job of several employees with little to no support from senior execs.
