Pros

Lots of training opportunities. Good benefits and fair compensation. Great bonus system. Some opportunities for advancement, but you have to kiss up a lot to get ahead.

Cons

There is a lot of micro-management every day. Too much looking over your shoulder and too much pressure to sell products customers do not need.

Pros

Good work/life balance, training opportunities and global brand recognition. Diverse workforce and true international presence and recognition. Nice incentive program and generous vacation policy for full time employees.

Cons

Badly impacted in last three years due to sub-prime mortgage crises that resulted in closing down of major business operations in North America and mass lay-offs. Career growth and compensation is not based on performance but politics. Low employee morale due to ambiguous employee performance management policies.
