Pros

Innovative company with a great location close to Chicago. Interned there for a summer and was treated as a regular employee. Gave me many projects to sharpen my skills and advance my career.

Cons

People dedicated to their work. Not a lot of interaction within the cafe or outside the office.

Pros

OK benefits but have been cut every year for the past few, blaming Obamacare wearing thin. Recently kicked spouses off the benefit package

Cons

The past six years raises have not met the inflation rate. If you complain the mantra is: "be glad you even have a job" Complete separation of the management from the workers, if someone hadn't pointed out the sales director to me I wouldn't know who it was,
