Pros

Good benefits, very decent people. You have every opportunity to learn. Offer balanced work/life environment to most business units.

Cons

Sales compensation too grey and probably leaves a lot to be desired in "motivating" new customer/revenue opportunities. Although it seems "neat" at first, the quirky "perks" like M & M's every Wednesday is not the reason someone should believe they are work for a "great" company. There is no way to make more than an average income at almost every business function level. You have to "love" working FOR SAS to justify staying when many friends and/or peers choose challenges for management, money and more dynamic work environment.

SAS Needs to Grow Up

Pros

The employee benefits are amazing. There are chances for growth and development.

Cons

Very poor administration policies. Employee performance reviews are not done. Non technical training is disorganized. Much of the creativity in SAS is stymied based on how middle management believes the CEO will perceive the idea. Submitting an idea that runs contrary to the immediate manager's opinion can be dangerous. Additionally, many employees are held responsible for cost issues while accounting information was too closely held to be useful. SAS' approach to the international market is often short sighted.

Pros

Excellent benefits, work-life balance, the wonderful people

Cons

No salary increases every year or the following year or the following year. It could be a VERY long time before you see even a small increase but your workload is constantly increasing. Management is wonderful but it seems their hands are tied. I think???
