Pros

Retirement plan is good. Managment tries hard.

Cons

The communications from management seem canned. Associates are encouraged to give feedback but management has prepared for all questions -- like a good politician.

Pros

You get paid well. They pay for your bus/train pass. You get a pretty good schedule, and the job isn't too stressful.

Cons

You get paid well, but you do put up with a lot of stuff that really wouldn't fly other places. Your career advancement is based on who likes you. Period. If you make the wrong enemy, you are done and may as well find another place to work. HR doesn't respond well to issues in the workplace. Things that are supposed to stay confidential may not. I know if one instance where an HR person was asked to keep the person's name confidential who had complained. And she didn't. Also, incompetence doesn't mean you'll lose your job. It may mean you get promoted. Seriously.

Pros

wonderful peers, excellent compensation, beautiful offices, IT support is terrific!

Cons

i've seen a LOT of so-so "managers" who just keep doing what ever it is to get ahead. no matter who they step on, or leave behind. and they are still there. such a shame. the organization has lost many dedicated, talented associates. it was one of the best places to work, at a certain place and time.
