Pros

The people by far made it worth coming to work. Helpful, intelligent and positive despite the attempts of upper management to beat down their spirit.

Cons

The faulty logic used to justify everything from salaries to layoffs; the flawed metrics which it took upper management two full years to realize their error in implementing despite being advised at all steps of the flaws.

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
