Pros
1. Amazing coworkers. 2. Working here sets the bar low for your next job. 3. High job security if you are a half decent worker because there is no way they can replace you from the outside without paying almost double for your replacement. 4. If you’re someone who needs experience to put on a resume, it would be a decent job for a year before moving on as quickly as possible.
Cons
Where do I start? There are meetings about everything (many are company-wide), despite most of them being a complete waste of time. If you don't want to go to them, you will be looked down upon because they value attendance at meetings more than actual performance because of what they read in a bunch of stupid books, which they expect you to read as well. Pay is significantly below average and there is no structure for bonuses or raises. For the most part, you only get paid fairly if you threaten to quit, unless you are on the management team or in sales. Receiving a promotion doesn’t even guarantee you additional compensation. They just expect you to take on the additional responsibility. The workload is far too great and the company does not bring in any type of outside resources because they are too cheap. They don't use technology to their advantage, which results in additional work for their employees. After all, it’s not the executive’s problem unless their employees start running for the hills, which would be a reasonable response after such poor and unethical treatment. There is never any planning, just reacting to what already happened and constant changes in procedure because some leaders cannot make up their mind on how to do something, which causes duplicate work. Their core value of “living fully” and maintaining a work/life balance is nonexistent other than giving their employees one day a year called "Living Fully Day" where everyone could mess around and talk about their personal life while work piles up. Needless to say, there wasn't a whole lot of living fully in the following few days. Year-end bonuses are often embarrassingly low and 401k matching is only done once a year. You will lose it if you leave the company before the end of the year. The company sent out an email asking for and rewarding good reviews, so the majority of the good reviews you see on this site are likely fake.
