Pros

Cafeteria on site, coffee bar on site. Yep, that's about it.

Cons

Ok, let me try posting a review AGAIN bc somehow these all get taken down because I'm telling the truth but someone in HR is trying to cover it up... -Total old boy network -Promotions and hiring are based on how attractive of a female you are -Old school dress code (like dress pants and dress shirt and dress shoes). The old boy network loves their double pleated Haggar pants from JC Pennys -Lots of "lifers" there who aren't open to new ideas or change - Lots of nepotism - Vernon Hills and the surrounding suburbs/area are just lifeless and boring, unless you love Buffalo Wild Wings and Walmart -Pay is low for the job you do. I left and got $15K more for a similar job -Not close to any train stations so don't even consider this place if you live in the city of Chicago. Driving there is not an option as traffic is awful - Not much innovation. It's just paint, people
