Pros

Great benefits Room for advancement WFH opportunities

Cons

Advancement largely depends on how much management likes you. Favoritism is a huge problem within the company Constantly making org changes. One manager/director/board member leaves the company and their replacement comes in with all kinds of "wonderful" ideas. I cannot tell you how often this happened while I worked there. Teams have to work around the changes only for there to be a fairly good chance the changes do not stick, and you are back to square one Disorganized, required information is often held tightly by individuals to ensure their relevance to the company. Important information is often not communicated as it should be Most people begin as contractors, and contractors are treated as outsiders. With vastly different pay and benefits compared to their FTE counterparts When a position opens up and they are looking to transition a contractor to an FTE position, management will decide who they want to fill that position and secretly let their desired candidate know so they alone can apply. Which is entirely against the law. I only became an FTE because I subtly called them out on this

Pros

Pay and benefits are very good in comparison to other industries.

Cons

Leadership is as bad as I have ever seen. It seems to have morphed from leadership into micromanagement with very little interest in keeping morale high for the field heroes that keep them in business. Unfortunately, this is the case in most locations. Opportunity for advancement is zero if you aren't working out of a main hub and even less if you aren't the typical "yes man". It seems contrary to the diversity of ideas tout and is very stifling to any forward movement. Otherwise, they pay well.
