Pros

Paycheck , full gym available to employees. Covered parking, On-site cafeteria.

Cons

Where to start? Non diverse management staff. No room for promotions if you're female, and you can forget about it if you're a male of color. Managers spend more time libeling employees than actually managing. Performance reviews are extremely subjected Seasoned employees are "laid off" and replaced by younger staff members, H/R share personal information to unrelated employees. Managers obsessing with employees personal lives to the point of following employees home.Seeking FMLA is the kiss of death, anyone seeking to use the FMLA program will eventually get "laid-off" under the pretense that their job is 'leaving the country." Folks are so afraid of getting "laid-off" until the climate is like the hunger games (i get you before you get me).
