Pros

Nice, clean, well organized physical plant. Most employees are hard working (depending on their department) Monthly budget for free food and beverages.

Cons

It seems like its all High School cliques with little to no actually accountability. If you become "Friends" with a manager your safe, regardless of your output.

Pros

Great coworkers & convenient location

Cons

- lack of career mobility, lack of promotion opportunities, they rather hire from outside the company than promote from within. Pay newcomers more. Lack of visibility, working hard and competence is rewarded with more work. Kept in same position, asked to train new people without extra pay. Increases of $0.50 and $0.25 every 6 months is just embarrassing. Based on “merit” but workloads keeps on increasing
