Loyalty out the window!

Pros

Good food in the cafeteria. Good location of office. Easy commute. Good people to work with at the non-management level.

Cons

No loyalty shown towards loyal employees. Management only looking out for themselves. Don't care who they throw under the bus, as long as it's not them! Like pulling teeth trying to get an answer from someone. Long-term employees retire and then come back as Consultants because they're the only one who knows their job.

Pros

-Cheap, high quality food in the cafeteria -Plenty of empty conference rooms where you can contact your recruiter to get you out!

Cons

-Company NEEDS to upgrade their technology ASAP (They're stuck in the 90's -- No Microsoft Outlook... really?) -Need to upgrade their facilities --Bathrooms are gross, carpets are stained and coming up, elevator floors creaks, antique appliances in the pantry (might be good for The Antique Roadshow), etc -No free coffee/tea -The commute to the office is horrendous -The people are weirdos. It seems as if they hire the people that other companies turn down.

Promotions and raises are non existent, except the annual 1.5% when premiums go up at least 10%....you lose
