Pros

Can't think of any pros other than the days you do not have to see or think about this place on days off, which are very few since you will work weekends and long hours. 60+ hours here are standard. Avg employee at corporate probably does close to 80+ hours a week. no stretch of the truth. Cannot imagine a Fortune 150/200 Company that is worse than this place. Was recently named 10 worst companies to work for in US. This place is so horrible that even outside consultants want to quit.

Cons

NO WORK-LIFE BALANCE. You will work weekends and long hours. If you have a family or any resemblance of a social life, do yourself a favor and KEEP OUT! People with excellent work experiences and backgrounds have literally walked off the job here and quit within weeks of coming into their roles. Management is horrible here and will treat you like scum. you are simply a number here. So many people have quit here that they are pretty much running on temps. They will sell you a bag of goods but once in the job, people are miserable here. If you want to kill your resume with a short term role than go for it.

Pros

Decent company, good stock plan, good people who want to see you grow

Cons

Very remote management makes things hard, very little team work is locally siloed so its hard for managers to understand the boots on the ground view. Managers are great people but spread very thin, sometimes they accept work before having staff for it(classic consulting move)
