Pros

The benefits and pay. At least they used to pay well before they went to all Jr. employees and offshored everything.

Cons

The company has become too large too fast. The CEO is not research-minded or knowledgeable about the business. He destroyed Boston Market, and will do the same to Pfizer. All of the Sr. staff is being sent out the door to cut costs, and much of the initial research industrywide is being done abroad and in the East - with many errors.

Good place to work, but if you want to get promoted you have to learn how to brown nose.

Pros

Great benefits, fair to employees

Cons

Have to 'play the game' to get promoted, but that's how most places are. If you are a sales rep, it's really tough to move inside.
