Pros

- People are overall pleasant & friendly - Hours are generally good (40 hours/wk) - Management does take the time to communicate company development quarterly - Management is committed to improving the business

Cons

- Bonus incentive is nominal and is tied to company & international performance which makes it hard to really motivate - Promotions can take a long time; Lateral moves are encouraged and more frequent but the company policy is not to give pay increases for lateral moves - Company overly focuses on bringing in MBAs - it's a core requirement, but any MBA from any school is fine. Quality of education is irrelevant for this company, you just need the degree. This leads to a VERY wide range of talent all at the same title - Too many test initiatives + analysts who don't know how to interpret data properly -No tuition reimbursement -HMO healthplan is affordable, but POS plan is very expensive, especially for a family.

Pros

Best job ever, I was able to play with toys all the time. I usually stayed late to open boxes, and play, then I put them back in boxes like nothing happened and then go home, my wife always thought I was cheating because I was late, sometimes 3AM, but I just can't stop playing with toys, it was awesome.

Cons

My wife didn't like my job. She hated when I was late.
