Pros

Good learning experience. The opportunity to earn bonuses. Beautiful office environment. The assistants make cookies every day. They smell good.

Cons

Very cold atmosphere (figuratively and literally). Upper management does not see employees (customer service in particular) as anything but moneymakers for him- and if you don't oblige to his ridiculous standards you will face his wrath. Very hectic work day, which is supposed to finish at 5pm- but rarely does, employees stay as late as 8 with no additional compensation. A very micromanaged environment that I used to dread going in every day for.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
