Pros

Great benefits package. Many of the co workers are friendly. A decent work like balance. Well respected company in industry.

Cons

I agree with everyone who says moving up is a bit of a joke. Many junior managers are incompetent, and are in their positions due to tenure. Very conservative culture that likes to censor its employees. Not a good company for creative people, as many of your ideas get lost in shuffle/never get implemented. Very reactive company, despite its claims in trying to be innovative.

Pros

Awesome coworkers for young professionals. Paid licensing for a few months.

Cons

Micromanagement is out of control. Incompetent team leaders who are obsessed with power and metrics. Back to back calls, limited support, and nearly impossible effective communication between departments. Zero time to cultivate culture because you are taking calls every second of the day except for 30min/1hr lunch and two 15 minute breaks. You’re locked into your role for over a year (apprenticeship for around 60 days, then a year after promotion to associate) and your team leaders will not approve internal applications unless you are “eligible”.
