Pros

Good work life balance. 9/80 schedule is nice and there is the option to work from home on occasion. Regular raises and bonuses.

Cons

Work load wildly fluctuates throughout the year with the responsibility left up to the employee at times to find tasks to do if there is a low volume of work. The charge number system is a real pain to work with. Some of the business partners this company has chosen to work with are a bit morally questionable.

Pros

9/80 work schedule. Benefits are decent. One of the few comapnies that offer a pension in addition to 401k.

Cons

Too many management layers. Promotions seem to be based on who you know, and if you fit into the right "clique". Some promotions are being given to managers with no experience in the function. Executuve leadership appears out of touch with their employees. Example - Chaotic games have been played the last 3 years with remote and hybrid work policies.
