Pros

Facilities and campus. They offer some good classes and learning sessions. Take all you can then take your skills elsewhere

Cons

You don't know who to trust. Working here will make you paranoid because there are so many smiling backstabbers. Heed the reputation and stay away for your own sanity! Whenever there is a Director opening it's like they go out and find more crooked people to fill the opening. There is a type that is successfully at this company: quiet sheep that are there for the perks or loud, aggressive dishonest people. Don’t waste time speaking to HR, they are there to protect the company and note the “trouble makers”.

Pros

-The only pros are the amazing benefits - probably the best 401K I've seen as well as the highly competitive salaries.

Cons

-Lack of culture is a growing and rampant issue - there is a very high level of favoritism -Micromanagement from senior leadership - instances occuered where they essentially forced an employee to resign and not directly fire him/her just so that they wouldn't have to pay severence package, etc. Managers want to just make themselves look good and make it clear that your only job is to acf as if they are God's gift to this messed up planet. -Lack of proper communication and frequent unnecessary team meetings held which are a waste of time and do not accomplish any desirable results.
