Pros

USED to be a great place to work. Still a lot of good people here because they can't go anywhere else due to a non-compete they signed years ago that was never explained to them.

Cons

I accepted some stock options years ago. At the time, my manager never explained to me that by accepting these options, I was signing a one year non-compete. I actually heard about the non-compete years later. The options are completely worthless, and I haven't had a raise or bonus in 5 years. I have no future in this company and can't leave because of these worthless, silly stock options. Patty Hart had made a public comment; confirmed by HR; that anyone who felt they were treated like a "battered wife" (her quote), could leave the company with their noncompete waived. A friend of mine approached HR to test the water and was told "NO". Another LIE by Patty.

Good benefits, flexibility in scheduling if you have the right job and/or manager.

The company is in a state of flux for the past 10+ years plagued by multiple acquisitions and mergers leading to multiple reductions in force and instability.
