Pros

Cafeterias, Peets Coffee, Stable Products, Stable company

Cons

Very low employee satisfaction and morale, micromanaging ole-boys club style management, does nothing to retain good talent, upper management has little respect for workers in the trenches, very arrogant about the stability of the company, the *worst* Human Resources folks you will find anywhere in the industry! Never conducts employee satisfaction surveys! Discourages promotion of employees from within the company.

Pros

-The only pros are the amazing benefits - probably the best 401K I've seen as well as the highly competitive salaries.

Cons

-Lack of culture is a growing and rampant issue - there is a very high level of favoritism -Micromanagement from senior leadership - instances occuered where they essentially forced an employee to resign and not directly fire him/her just so that they wouldn't have to pay severence package, etc. Managers want to just make themselves look good and make it clear that your only job is to acf as if they are God's gift to this messed up planet. -Lack of proper communication and frequent unnecessary team meetings held which are a waste of time and do not accomplish any desirable results.
