Pros

On paper it is one of the best companies to work for in the area. Great benefits including free employee health clinic, event tickets, and competitive time off/holiday/benefits/401k match. Hours are very reasonable in most departments. Rapid growth means job security, opportunities for advancement, and transfers to learn new disciplines.

Cons

Company culture is poor. Managers, Directors, and Executives micro-manage and don't empower staff to make decisions. No accountability for poor performers, bringing down the morale of hard workers. It pays the bills and affords a nice work/life balance, but does not progress your career or provide any fulfillment from the work day.

Quite an awful experience...

Pros

The corporate campus is very nice. Pay and benefits are reasonable. The company continues to grow quickly and opportunities for development and exposure to different parts of the business are plentiful.

Cons

Google scholarly articles on "toxic work environments" and you'll have a highly representative synopsis of the culture at the corporate office. Too many managers are remnants of the days when the company was a smaller player. Their ideas and ways of doing things simply no longer work. Senior leadership provides no purpose or direction, other than stock price growth, Fortune ranking growth, campus expansion, etc. Once the novelty of all these "exciting" things wears off, everyone is left to determine their own rationale for coming to work on a daily basis and the struggle for relevancy and resources has led to a really bad case of infighting. There are certainly a lot of good people working there, but I've never experienced so many hostile and progress preventing people in my career.

Poor Management and Unethical

Pros

They pay well because they have to in order to keep people from jumping ship

Cons

They make a lot of money off of Medicaid. And they don't really care about the clients. The front line staff does, but the management has no idea what they front line staff does and couldn't do their job if they needed to. HR also fosters a culture of management doesn't need to know how to do their employees job. I think this is very dangerous for a company because management will never know how things work.
