      Pros

      - Excellent health benefits and work schedule. - Great tuition reimbursement program. - Excellent wellness/recreation program and private fitness centers. - Work is fascinating, and constantly changes. - Coworkers are friendly and helpful, most have diverse backgrounds. - Easy to apply for new positions within the company once you have your foot in the door. - Perform above expectations, demonstrate a willingness to learn new roles, and management will promote accordingly.

      Cons

      - Compensation scales, job titles, and job descriptions are ambiguous. - Pay raises are generally low, bonuses are mediocre. - Archaic and inefficient paper trailing of documents. - Management seems to communicate ineffectively, causing employees to work extended hours and weekends to meet constantly shifting deadlines. - Other than new hire training, organizational training is virtually non-existent. - Mismatched 90's office furniture and uncomfortable chairs. - "Holiday" party is limited to employees only. - After 3 years, I still have no clue what HR does.

      It's okay. Not terrible but also not great.

      Pros

      The company is full of really bright, dedicated people in all departments. There is a 9/80 schedule with an option to work hybrid in some departments. Some departments also allow even more flexibility. Pay is pretty good in most departments except Finance salaries and promotions are difficult to achieve.

      Cons

      Leadership is old fashioned and tends to get in its own way. You can tell they don't like hybrid schedules but they were losing too many people to not offer some type of flexibility. Finance leadership is unfortunately lacking in vision and loyal to their employees. Don't accept a position or pay for a dime less than what you are worth because they will consistently lowball your pay, despite asking you to do more work. Finance also has a retention issue, so every time someone leaves, you get stuck with extra work and training new hires. It's a leadership failure cycle that never ends.
