Pleasant environment with plenty of opportunity for growth.

Pros

Nice people, great building, good benefits, advancement opportunity. They promote open communication and entrepreneurial thinking. It's a large company so there are of course some drawbacks to that but overall they seem to care about their employees. Decent community involvement.

Cons

Not a lot of cons. I'd like to work for a company that greatly promotes/rewards health, and while they do offer a nice gym, and have the Livewell program, I'd like to see more promotion of health events and incentives.

Business Outlook

Pros

It pays the bills and they have pretty good benefits for FTE's. Building is gorgeous.

Cons

Very questionable business practices. I personally feel they are incredibly unethical. Due to massive attrition - with key people still leaving in droves - they are lacking solid processes and procedures. A few people seem to be holding it all together. VP level management only supports the managers. Lower level employees (professional level) have no recourse for issues or support. Management breeds a very toxic environment. The business side seems decent, but IT is a cluster. No one seems to be happy. Lots and lots of very shady things going on there.
