      If you don't live in Cary, it's not the same

      Pros

      Benefits are great in Cary, and very good elsewhere. The work ethic is dismal, so if you want to coast you will fit right in.

      Cons

      Very 1980s.. old technology, people who have been at their jobs for 25 years and doing it the same way. Not a clue on the general marketspace and the capabilities of the competition. Ideas and products internally are touted as 'leading edge', but the competition had them 5 years ago. New ideas are stiffled and people are scared of change. Very buddy centric. If you are a rep and don't sell, but go the the same church as your manager you can stay forever. If you are remote those rules do not apply.

      A great employer but some issues

      Pros

      Benefits, culture, work-life are all great. 13% profit sharing for 30+ years is very strong. Its' truly a place where you can have it all - cutting edge work, professionla collegues and a life outside of work. The hype is true.

      Cons

      Pay is below market. Doesn't take to outsiders well. Guess that's the trade-off for having a life outside of work. And there can be a lot of poltics, depending on your level. Fir the average employee, its pretty benign. No equity. What happens when Goodnight retires or dies?

      Pros

      Good work life balance. Great company perks and health insurance.

      Cons

      There are no bottom-up reviews, meaning managers and leadership are never evaluated by the people they oversee. This contributes to a company culture where many remain resistant to change. Even worse, those in management often believe they are receiving feedback, but the absence of structured input leaves them with significant blind spots This is one of the many reasons SAS is always playing catch up with it's competitors.
