Pros

The company truly cares about the health of its employees, which is nice, considering it's a health-based company. Fitness classes are offered on site, and the cafeteria is full of fresh, organic food.

Cons

Every day you walk in the building wondering "is today the day I'm doing to be let go?" I've been with the company for just over two years, and it seems that every couple of months, there are more mass layoffs. Nobody is safe. Employees (particularly those right out of college) are ALWAYS overworked and WAY underpaid.
