Pros

Flex Scheduling in non-close weeks for accounting personnel, but have longer hours to compensate (more of a neutral than a pro) Pay is above average compared to similar positions in the area Ability to work from home at times due to having laptops and remote connectivity Plenty of work so job security is a non-issue

Cons

PTO is minimal - 10 days, 6 holidays Management has a tendency to micromanage No sick leave 401k match is minimal and not able to contribute til 6 months in Raises are miniscule Not nearly as much room for upward momentum as you are sold on at hire Medical benefits don't start til 3 months after hire Very corporate "follow policies" attitude even when they don't make sense - again more of an issue with management

Pros

The offices are clean and they have lunch trucks that come weekly to the Nashville office.

Cons

They treat their IT workers like warehouse employees, by offering no flexibility or reward for loyalty.

Pros

Relaxed dress code Good place for someone just starting out in their career to get something on their resume.

Cons

Employees are second class citizens. Stock holders are higher on the importance scale. Personal feelings from management play a bigger role when it comes to promotion than skill. Culture created by Upper Management is one of exclusivity in the "drink the Kool Aid club". I have witnessed values and integrity from the Vice President level get put on the back burner in order to meet unrealistic budgetary goals. Compensation packages are well below geographic levels.
