Pros

There are five principles that define a way of doing business that recognizes the individual and a responsible way of conducting business.

Cons

The company is not being run by the family anymore; the new CEO is just like all the others. They have employed Jack Welch's drop the bottom 10% every year (stupid). They have reorganized almost every other year in some misguided thought process that you can replace leadership with HR policies. Mike Murphy was the last decent CEO and he left 10 years ago.

Pros

Managed to sort out the toilets and bins eventually... what an achievement. Free chocolate. Inexperienced people promoted based on how well they network rather than ability to do the job.

Cons

Free chocolate. IS division lacked clear leadership and was extremely slow to make decisions. IS: an HR department that don't know their own policies and are poorly equipped to help their associates. More concerned with where the next 'high potential' associate is coming from than looking after those they have already got.

Great employees, work/life balance, great pay, great benefits, great location.

Cons

Management decides your career path. No longer located on Michigan Ave. Open work environment is horrible.
