      Pros

      Really easy job, good pay, plus a monthly bonus based on performance.

      Cons

      The management team isn’t clear about expectations, especially since things are constantly changing. There’s noticeable favoritism, which affects your eligibility for raises, and you often get passive-aggressive responses when asking for clarification. Communication between departments is poor, and you’re constantly being given misinformation

      Worst company worst job I ever had

      Senior product manager

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      At the time had good people, but they’re all gone for a reason.

      Cons

      Was there for over a decade-longer than most, and never felt that the company valued its employees. Travel policy—forced to room with another employee to save money. $13 max for breakfast, $15 max for lunch, $26 max for dinner per diem. Hotel max at $100/night. Always lost $60 every time I travelled. Many years of no pay increase—always an excuse even during the healthier financial times. I’ve had better benefits working for places with far lesser means. Badge in badge out hours watched like a hawk. Zero flexibility—if you have a family that comes second. Stay away. I wish I would have departed many years before I did.
