Pros

Offices and campus landscaping in Cary are nice.

Cons

Company owner is a BILLIONAIRE yet every year I’ve worked here the pay is low compared to similar area companies. Raises (if they are even giving any that year) are miserly. Promotions and any chances for growth are so few and far between as to be non-existent. I am talking about across the board for workers, this is not just me. This is especially galling when you consider all of the wealth Goodnight and Sall have kept for themselves, wealth created by the workers who made them rich. Also, as many others have posted on this site, the once generous benefits are getting chipped away at every year. It’s true that people who worked at SAS a long time ago may have enjoyed a great company, but today through bad management, that great company is no more. I cannot recommend this company to anyone. Job applicants—-Stay away from this company! You’d be better off applying about anywhere else.

Pros

Beautiful campus, benefits are amazing.

Cons

Too many “lifers” at SAS, lost touch with best practices. Promotions based on personal relationships versus truly being the best person for the job. HR seems to protect itself and has grown its kingdom. Out of touch management. IPO seems extremely unlikely.
