Great pay, but very long hours

Pros

Salaries and bonuses are very strong. Top management is genuinely nice.

Cons

Very poor work/life balance. Hours are very long for middle management (10-11 hours per day). Vacation is limited to 2 weeks per year for everyone for the first 10 years. While schedule flexibility is preached, it does not seem to really happen. What I saw as legitimate requests for time off were routinely denied. Very low tolerance for errors.

Pros

They provide free lunch sometimes and are close to the Galleria if you enjoy shopping. They are located in the Williams Tower which provides a nice view of the area.

Cons

There were not any name plates for any of the offices or cubicals. I didn't see any organizational chart or structure when I was there. Requests frequently came from upper management with unrealistic deadlines. Life work balance was heavy on the work side (weekends and late nights). Vacation time was limited to two weeks a year.

Pros

market segment leader, annual earnings steady and growing, large enough to get lost in, has a large geographical foot print if relocation is desired; corporate is isolated from the operating companies,; hterefore it does not have to exert any effort to maintain (or rather - justify) its existense - so long as all the corporate drones have to do is re-publish the work performed by the operating companies, then life is wonderful.

Cons

senior management does not support "change" and will move mountains to assure the status quo. executive level is disconnected from daily management; conserverative approach to daily business is tempered with a firm belief that those at the top are alwasy right and that any new ideas must come from outside the organization before they could possibly be viable
