      Pros

      Nice office to work in. Had a good direct supervisor.

      Cons

      Upper management is a confusing chain with VPs reporting to Presdents that reported to VPs. Alot of politics and management at manager level was too hands off and removed from projects. Benefits of employees kept getting cut and right after they layed off some IT folks they bought the naming rights to the Cleveland Browns Stadium for a cool couple mil. Upper management does not care about employees or their workload, Many people have left and they rarely replace just distribute work to those who are still there.

      Pros

      Great Benefits, Great pay. Atmosphere is relatively good. I worked in the new west akron campus building. Nice people to work with. Had a fitness area on-site. They hire a lot of interns so it is a good place to get in the door. They will definitively give you a lot of work to do.

      Cons

      Not everyone gets equal opportunity towards training. Expected to learn on the job and master it on your own when you have never done a certain skill set before. Not everyone who is a team lead or manager has the time to do proper training because they are spread so thin with their time. Ability to be promoted requires you to sell your sole. If you aren't a kiss ass who likes to constantly work past a standard 40 hour shift, you get bypassed. promotions come from senior level management who don't know you. If you are a programmer or have a position that is tough to hire someone, then you get better treatment, but if you are in a position that has lots of options, then you are seen as expendable.
