Pros

Decent benefits, PTO, agile work schedule, fair pay.

Cons

No loyalty, no monthly performance assessments, poor IT group, complete silo within Operations. Current lawsuit (alleged securities fraud) with the US Government has lead toward an active spin-off of that portion of the business. Un-honored commitments, Townhall meetings exist with unfulfilled promises, and a vision that does not align with goals. Human Resources department is a complete failure. No compassion for employees, and no path forward environment. When work is slow, employees are told to "just dig in and look for work".

Pros

Flex time within a pay month, flexible schedules, an outstanding benefits package including a 401k retirement plans with 100% match on 6% of pretax and Roth contribution elections, several investment options, personalized financial planning through fidelity, employee stock purchase program, student debt retirement savings match program, and HSA options; several health insurance options with a wide range of monthly premiums and available benefits, FSA, HSA, vision, dental (Delta Dental), tuition assistance, PTO, holidays, and much more.

Cons

No automatic/across the board annual cost of living pay adjustments, only 5.3 hours total of PTO (with milestone increases for incumbents) each pay period (no separate sick, personal, annual, vacation, etc.), only 9 paid holidays with one floating holiday, no official employee evaluations or measured expectations, many employment pros and cons are dependent on supervisor on the contract - not corporate.
