Pros

Excellent work life balance Generally nice people through out the organization Comprehensive Benifits - 401k match, dental,health, tuition reimbursement

Cons

- For those who are career oriented and trying to quickly move up this is not the place to work. There are limited opportunities for advancement. - It is nearly impossible to develop new ideas into programs, products or services from the bottom up. Everything requires large project teams and sign offs from multiple departments with conflicting political interests. The only way anything moves forward is if SVP or CEO forces it through. - Pay is well below industry average for all salaried positions

Pros

One of the benefits they list to get you in the door is TOP RATE pay*. The top rate is currently unknown but general consensus is 20 years to top rate pay. If you love standing around making up stories in your own head for two hours while spreading rumors amongst your unabashed co-workers about other co-workers you’ve interacted 2 minutes in the year you’ve worked together then this job is for you! Minimal logic involved.

Cons

Fellow employees will unionize to get you out of your route. Employees will make up stories to pit employees against one another. Fellow employees will threaten other employees for being friendly to one another. The management is willing bend over backwards to give you a bad review if leaving for another job. Co-workers are extremely bored and in most cases workload differs dramatically depending on where you are on the sort.
