Pros

There are plenty of benefits that employees actually enjoy. The commuter pass and parking program, weekly catered lunches, fitness reimbursement, and the training and other development opportunities.

Cons

The CEO and his management were so focused on making profits, forgetting about balance, the real vision, and company priorities. The current problems were blatantly ignored while taking advantage of employees, neglecting our well being, losing the work-life balanced we were promised! The outcome was overworked, stressed, and unhappy employees who felt frustrated at work which also affected performance in a terrible way! Instead of actually talking about the decline in performance and resolving the real problem, we were blamed for it and even pressured to perform better! If one would suggest decreasing our load, management would take that against you and accuse you of being incompetent! The CEO being obsessed with getting higher results, will immediately fire anyone who's underperforming and couldn't qualify their insane standards! Fear is the thing that drives people to keep on no matter how exhausting work gets from the continuous increase of workload, no matter how unreasonable it is. No one wants to get fired just like that, without any back up plan. The job is enjoyable, coworkers were great, and students were a joy to teach. It's just the leadership that makes this company terrible!

Pros

The money can be good. But don’t be misled. You will earn every penny of it along the yellow brick road.

Cons

Management is the downfall of this company. The CEO is an Ivy League charlatan hiding behind the curtains who has no people skills and less knowledge about the products his reps sell. Management is vindictive about anyone who leaves the company and often ends up in frivolous litigation as a scare tactic. Much like the Wicked witch of the West, fear and intimidation are used quite often to keep employees in check.

Pros

Working with talented people who care about what they do. Smaller sizes allows for the potential to work with many areas of the company.

Cons

Bureaucracy hobbles what should be a more nimble company. Management not doing all they can to provide an innovative workplace for employees.
