Pros
There are some good people that work here. Some smart people who, probably at one point, did really care. For a select few people there is some schedule flexibility. Health insurance is good.
Cons
Company is run like a dictatorship. Even Managing Directors have zero ability to make decisions and a few of them have been so blatantly set up to fail that they’ve just given up all together. Every single decision is run through the president so even the simplest thing (that employee needs a new laptop, for example) take forever to get done or it's never completed at all. There is a re-org every couple months but the results of that re-org are never communicated to the employees. One employee learned her new manager based on the person her expense report was sent to. In fact, nothing is communicated to the employees. Much like a dictatorship, there is ZERO transparency at every level and lots of secrets. Decision making from the top is non-existant. No idea how anything gets done. Everything is blamed on tough ownership (Fortress) but truly there is just no leadership at this company, no strategic direction, no support for employees. A business is a business and itis there to make money, no doubt. However, the amount at which this company disposes of and loses employees without a care in the world is absolutely egregious. They trim budgets by taking money out of employees pockets or tightening up on expense reports (not covering that Starbucks bill!) but they fail to see that real savings could be made by employee retention programs, employee betterment programs and training (outside of the rating agency required training), etc. The culture here is non-existent. It's absolutely abysmal. They have zero concern with culture whatsoever. Providing lunch on Fridays and breakfast every morning (which is taken away at 9:30am sharp even if there is tons of food left - Do not be late to work!) doesn’t foster happy employees, actually: it makes employees fat and resentful.
