      Pros

      Excellent medical insurance. Employee Stock Purchase Program.

      Cons

      Management talks about how they value transparency, but noone wants to hear the truth. It has become a place of corporate drudgery with layers and layers of ineffectual middle-managers who are so overly process-oriented that nothing substantial gets done. It's extremely hard to advance your career there. There is a good old boy network there that is too hard to break into. With the recent layoffs, there is a pallor hanging over those who are still there. Management has not been subtle in pointing out the people who are in the bottom 10% are the next ones to go. And yet everyone in the division is afraid for their job - even though they may not be affected in the next layoff, they might be in the one after that.

      Pros

      Variety of work that you can do. If you want to work on something completely different, it is super easy to make a shift. In fact you re encocuraged to move around.

      Cons

      Type A personalities are the norm. If you are a type A , then great. If you are not a type A, then you will struggle. There has been a noticeable push to make managers more sensitive to diverse work styles in the past few years, but I have not seen a noticeable change.

      Pros

      I like the health club benefit at Pro Club. I can exercise and keep myself healthy. I like that I enjoy my work very much, and the environment makes me want to come into the office. The people are energetic and often go-getters. The education classes, and on the job training allow an employee to develop and make significant contributions to the company and team. The technology in the office is great for productivity. IP connected phones to Office Communicator ,my laptop. and phone makes it easy to communicate in the office. I feel at my job right now, I can accomplish many of my professional goals, and rotate to different areas of the company and different offices around the world.

      Cons

      Like any large company, there are some inefficiencies.
