Pros

Building is nice, I guess.

Cons

-You get 10 minutes a week of personal time/bathroom time, 2 minutes a day. I have never felt more like a child in my life. MAKE SURE TO BRING A DIAPER. -Preach advancement but hire from the outside rather then promote within. -Almost every position besides becoming a manger is "lateral" meaning you will not get a raise but they expect more work out of you. Also they will force you to these departments if you are consistently hitting bonus so they don't have to pay you. -Highest raise they give annually is .4% (which is around .50 cents) only to top performers (no one knows the criteria to being considered a top performer) -HR has a "closed door policy"... if something is bothering you make sure to schedule and appt. through email and hopefully they email you back a few days later. Kind of defeats the purpose of HR.

Pros

There are some great managers; it's very individualistic Decent benefits

Cons

Worst IT department I have seen in my 25 years of working; never really had the tools to do my job No vision at leadership level; everything is lip service No focus, always looking at the next bright and shiny object No concept of customer loyalty; when a place has no loyalty to its employees, that is the end result

Not what it seems

Analyst

Business Outlook

Pros

Above average benefits (family leave is definitely a plus) Ability to telework Available parking at Dorchester location

Cons

What was promised by the recruiter does not match the reality (compensation, bonus potential, position responsibilities, and many others). Difficult to square promised changes by senior management with actual progress. No recourse to challenge leadership without significant exposure and risks to personal career viability. Compensation levels are generally lower than competitors
