Pros

Good benefits. Good pay, but salary, so in the end compensation isn't worth it.

Cons

No work life balance. No concept of comp time. To many projects and work 60-80 hours per week.

Thank you for your review. We agree that work/life balance is important for all of our employees. We recommend that if any employee feels they’re not achieving an ideal work/life balance, that they speak with their direct supervisor. If you would like to discuss more about your experience with us, please call us and ask to speak with an available HR business partner (314) 725-4477.

Pros

There are some good-natured talented people scattered throughout the company. Depending on your management chain, you may be okay for a while.

Cons

The stated primary goal is to improve the quarterly stock price. Many mid to upper level managers are more focused on self-preservation than anything else. Employees that work to make things better and more efficient are pushed out. There is no job security as layoffs happen regularly and seem to affect people at random, including top performers. Many managers have no idea what actually goes on in their department. Some IT leaders view the business as idiots and do not collaborate, in fact these leaders are the ones working their own agenda of self preservation. These same leaders cover up problems in their departments and to not report them unless it can be used to damage a rival. Innovation is discouraged unless it happens in a business unit designated to innovate. Moral is low.

Pros

18 days vacation, 4 days sick leave

Cons

Mid managers are given way too much power and upper management listens to only the mid managers no matter how good of an employee you are, to the upper management, you are what your supervisor projects you to be. HR is pretty much non-existent and does not offer any protection to employees
