Depressing environment

Pros

Company allows for "California Friday" early leave if the work is done. Christmas Season office shutdown is a nice bonus to the vacation time. Relatively good vacation time allowance.

Cons

Never-ending waves of lay off. Started with once a year then twice a year now almost every month. Mostly affect "working horses" while keeping upper level management resulting in one of the highest concentration of managers per a worker. Company cuts on everything starting from benefits ending with the office coffee. Excessive formality around business related subjects. Obscure lay off reasoning.

Pros

Decent salary, great benefits of you live in the state of Florida. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah 20 word minimum blah.

Cons

Management and HR conspire against employees that make complaints. Nothing is held in confidence. In the department I worked in, the culture was male dominated and women were not treated equally. If you are part of the golden inner circle, you can do no wrong. If you are not, then you should probably just leave, because you will get nowhere. Also, I never saw a disabled person working there when I was there, very strange for such a big company.

Pros

Over time paid. Good coworkers most of them. Flex hours. Good pay. Group leaders are nice most of the time and try to help as much as possible

Cons

Upper management is horrible, they got no clue and always focus on cost cutting. God knows how many restructuring they will do. And now they have this ridiculous initiative called Quesst that is driving everyone crazy. No growth within the company if you want to do something. 2% salary increase for employee and 100% for the management. Sometimes it feels like there are more executives than employees. There are 2-3 VPs for each group sometimes. Some people in the management are completely useless and they need to be fired if Marc parent is so concerned about cutting cost. Marc Parent's salary doubled since last year but he insisted to cut 350 people to reduce the cost, there you can see how ethical they are.
