Pros

Some of the people there are absolutely amazing. The benefits are good but expensive (35 to 40% taken out of each check). The merchandise and food discounts are good. If you work in the right department, they will look out for you.

Cons

I did not have a good experience being trained. The lady who was supposed to train me let me know she didn't like to train. She even e-mailed management to ask to not train me.

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
