Pros

They paid to relocate me to one of their hubs.

Cons

There is no working balance. There are changes every day, no consistency. If you want time off you need to plan a year in advance. Stated farm went from a great place to work, develop and grow your career to a micromanaged numbers company. The process is a complete mess and the customers are the ones who suffer from the changes and lack of employee satisfaction. I went from loving my job to dreading it.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
