Pros
-You can wear jeans/causal clothes -Peers are great people -Jack Ross is a decent CEO - Benefits program is decent
Cons
1. Good ol' boy system - promotes the same managers over and over. I can't remember the last time a peer was promoted to a manager. MIT program is a joke. Only people that are well liked are chosen to go through it and even once your done there is no where to go because the same people get promoted. 2. Cubie world is alive and well. 3 grey walls is what you get. They try and make it cool buy adding a couple chairs as a "lounge", but it's seriously lacking. Not everyone is allowed stand up desks. Company should be promoting the idea of open areas and ways for people to stand up vs. sitting down all day. 3. VP's have and do make you feel that if you make a somewhat decent salary after years of employment that you should be grateful to have it and that they can take it away anytime they like and have. They have no issues changing pay just because they can. Even if, as a division, you made budget/goal for the entire year. 4. Some departments have the opportunity to adjust their schedules to accommodate kids or school, etc. But other departments want to make you feel that your work hours are this and there is no exceptions. Not fair for hard working employees to see other departments enjoy this opportunity and some are not. Same goes with people working for home 1 day a week and most employees can't when we ALL would love it!! Again, micro managing gone crazy and stuck in the 90's office mentality. 5. Senior level VP's need to get more involved with division level changes and make sure that all divisions in the company are even and fair (flexible schedules, etc...). You have great employees here, but you have managers in place that make you feel like it's their way and there is the door if you don't like it. 6. Impossible to get on a committee within the company (activities, united way, etc...) unless you are in with the "in" crowd.
