Pros

Associate discount Fellow employees are friendly

Cons

Compensation is way below market value. You will be asked to work many hours and have no choice because things have to get done. Work-life balance is a foregone thought. Non-existent communication from middle management. I felt like they did not care about me. Offices are dungeon-like and have not been updated since the 80s. No windows and depressing environment to work in. Their employee cafeteria serves some pretty gross food.

Pros

great company, great team, hours are flexible and the team is great. a lot of room to make money

Cons

strict on their callout policy. sometimes you need coverage and team members aren't willing to cover for you and you are left with dealing with the write ups. Hard to move up unless you are favorited

Pros

Big company with lots of opportunity to explore talent and need combinations that match with your skill set.

Cons

Highly political and extremely slow when it comes to adoption of change. Company leans on temporary employees, supplemental consulting and re-orgs every 6 months or so. It's a volatile environment compared to the relative consistency of the company performance.
