Pros

Great benefits including very competitive compensation packages. These are the best people to work with and that includes the Executive Leadership Team. The CEO, Glenn Kellow, is very down-to-earth and communicative. We always know what's going on with the business which calms nerves in such a turbulent economy and during our Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. Peabody takes care of its employees!!

Cons

The only downside I can find is that the building is in downtown St. Louis - we have to pay for parking. But, seriously, that's the only downside.

Pros

The employees are great to work with.

Cons

Benefits cut due to Obamacare, and bankruptcy. Lack of appreciation for long term employees. Pay used to be in line with market, because of small to no raises no longer at that point. Management cannot keep employees, some don't realize the amount of work other employees do, no recognition. Some departments can't seem to hire employees much less keep them putting additional pressure of current employees. Management works extra with new employees to train them as well as give them what they ask for but leave long term employees wanting.
