Pros

Benefits are outstanding. Flex Fridays are a plus. Computer equipment provided is very good. Gym in building. Very supportive of female needs.

Cons

Management shows favoritism. Very slow with promotions. Some assistants have higher science degrees then management. The pay is way less than other companies. Head management go and come as pleased. Take their computers remotely to the beauty shop or to the chiropractor.

Pros

Strong Leadership, Fair/Average compensation, Thrive Program (company strives to keep you employeed as Sponsor reallocations occur)

Cons

HR is very hands off. It is very difficult to speak to anyone. Not simple to call and ask a question. Everything has to go through a portal. This is challenging when there is time sensitive needs. They make it work but in my opinion, this is a 'con'.
