Pros

Flexible FTO/ Good WLB. People generally respect when you're OOO Amazing work colleagues (juniors) always caring, supportive, and fun to talk to Nice office views (depends on geo)

Cons

I came in when WM sold off 50% to MSD, so sadly I got to experience the higher you climb the harder you fall situation. Unfortunately, I don't think I'd want to work at a place where the CEO, Kevin McCarty, explicitly states in a town-hall after sacking 13% of his workforce: "If you don't want to be here, then you don't want to be here then you can just leave I guess." Which I find interesting, because he also said that he doesn't read these reviews. Mind you, this was a response to criticism about how this poorly planned and unjust this RIF was. Chicago and New York folks are almost always staffed, presented with opportunities to grow and learn on projects, and not to mention under "leaderships" eye. Whereas other offices like LA, SFO, SEA DFW, and Minneapolis and are always on the low due to limited leadership and lack of visibility to the big players in Chicago, so this is where nepotism is rampant. Overall the other reviews that highlighted the cons are indeed true, employee beware.
