Pros

It is easy to read a book while on the job.

Cons

Corporate pats themselves on the back while making the job more difficult for plan employees. Highest paid person in the room always outranks the truth. First person to come up with an answer decides the truth. Data can not be trusted. Training is nonexistent. No talent development. Correlation is causation here. Pay and benefits are poor. Ethics are questionable at a minimum. Use of HR consultants to justify firing disguised as layoffs for employees with great reviews, high productivity, and no warning (These "re-engineered" positions are subsequently advertised).

Pros

You can select your work schedule you think your going to work. Competitive pay

Cons

1. Mandatory overtime. Expect to work 45/50+ weekly 2. Kiss them days goodbye if you are family oriented...0 work life balance. You accumulate vacation time only to loose it end of year because you didn't make the cut for PTO approval. 3. Unorganized management system and lack of communication 4. Inneroffice gossip, just plug in and you'll be fine 5. Although the job function can be performed remotely, WFH is not an option

Pros

- Hours - PTO - Pay (if you negotiate appropriately) - Schedule - No accountability, you can suck at your job and it not matter. Only way you are getting let go is if they downsize an area.

Cons

- Human Resources is awful - Promotion system is complete trash. You promote one level at a time, which is fine. But if your next level is Manager and you haven't demonstrated leadership skills you should not be promoted to manager. - Growing so fast they don't have time to do things right. Just get it done and we will fix it later - Managers & supervisors are never available, most are not good leaders to begin with. - Odd hiring practices. I have seen highly qualified people turned away and low level gas station cashiers hired. - Managers and supervisors run in "clicks". You have a better chance of doing well if you are a butt kisser than a steady top performer. - Main concern is climbing the Forbes list - CEO lies or plays dumb during Q & A portion of all employee meetings - technology is way past its expiration date
