Pros

Lots of amenities at the Home Office in Plano, Tx. Daycare, gym, clinic, cafeteria, food delivery service, pharmacy, coffee shop, covered parking, walking distance to really neat shops and places to eat, beautiful landscape, FUN FRIDAYS (cook-outs, farmer markets, food trucks, beer), massage chairs, quiet room.

Cons

There is constant spin and changing and redoing things. Leadership will not take any risks and does not trust their teams. Most people are out for themselves and will throw anyone under the bus to make sure they can get ahead. Too many leaders and managers have a say in everything. Constant "dog and pony show" to upper management. Spend so much time dealing with following the "process" and preparing for pointless meetings (wayyy too many meetings some weeks over 30 hours of meetings) No clear direction from leadership. Hard to move to another department.
