Pros

PTO, great co-workers, decent benefits.

Cons

Everything! Micromanagement has now gone to an extreme level that stresses out employees in every department. The Upper leadership has become a joke because they are not transparent and are laying off people and closing locations that were not advised in prior multi-year notices. It is a stressful environment with someone always watching over your work and asking you to do more! It is a horrible place compared to when I started with the company 9 years ago. They plan to hire in the HUB locations Dallas, Atlanta and Tempe with employees at cheaper salaries and run them ragged in 3 years. They start the whole process over again and hire a new crew to overwork and stress out!

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
