Pros

The building is in a nice location with plenty of places to eat lunch.

Cons

Unless you are going in as a consultant, don't waste your time. There are groups of consultants that have been there for years. They are truly running the organization. Management can't hire them as they are too expensive, can't get rid of them because they hold all the key positions. For this reason as an employee you can count on zero chance of advancement and close to zero raise.

Pros

Routine schedule day in day out, full benefits and a great 401K, Free Turkey delivered on Thanksgiving, great staff, overtime all the time

Cons

Members were unhappy, coworkers nice but unhappy, frequent communication breakdowns between Operation Department and Management and the other departments. After working the for over 8 years, the company merged and my department was moved from Sun Valley to Santa Fe Springs (Whittier area). The position was too far from my residence. The 50 or more inbound calls per day were easy but the complaints never stopped and at one point I no longer believed in the company.
