Pros

1/2 day every other Friday and casual dress. Benefits are excellent

Cons

Worse management that I have ever seen! From queen bee, militant man hater, suck up and puppy dog- unless you are apart of the in crowd you will never move up.

Pros

Love almost everyone that works in the office, some of the managers are fun and positive and help us feel valued and appreciated. Fun days, celebrations for achievements, potlucks for example.

Cons

It is hard to feel valued when only 1 group in the department receives retention bonuses, but all other groups in the department don't. The group that is receiving the retention bonus it's already seen as the prima donna group with high pay AND they get retention bonuses!?! Granted, there are a few project managers (count on 1 hand) that really should be retained, as their loss would be felt. The others could easily be replaced and don't deserve it. Terrible for the morale of all others. But apparently that doesn't matter.

Pros

Benefits, flexible schedule, pretty good team work

Cons

SSU MANAGEMENT. They constantly tell you this isn't high school or "tend to your own garden", but they are the ones stirring the pot. They make everything personal, they talk behind employees' backs to other employees, encourage tattling (and reward it), do not offer support or proper guidance, and do not handle utilization of their resources appropriately. One person can have nothing to do, while the next is swamped and barely surviving. They offer perks and false compliments to convince people not to leave. The first bit of advice when I started was "watch your back"... It is so unfortunate for such a great company to overlook such unprofessional behavior.
