Pros

Mmmm, the only thing would be the décor. This company is only about image and the headquarters location does not disappoint. Beautiful conference rooms and lobby. Excellent marketing dept, which is the only reason they are successful.

Cons

No substance. Image is more important than employees. Eccentric owner, run like a mom and pop shop. IT dept is extremely poorly managed, CIO that's afraid to make decisions or changes. Very political. The only promotions are if you have connections or know the right people. They intentionally only hire and pay below market value. Benefits are also below market norms, 3 sick days per year, ridiculous! They do not promote learning because they don't want you to be attractive to other employers. Beware - they are "buddies" with other businesses in the area and they will know if you apply for a job somewhere else (I saw it happen multiple times). High turnover. No flexibility. Salaried employees punch a time clock. Employees have to walk a very long distance up a hill to get to the parking lot in all kinds of weather, simply because a parking lot near the building would not look attractive. Speaking of image, everyone is expected to wear a corp. suit every day of the year. Absolutely everything is about looking good, not about having or keeping happy employees. It was the most bizarre company I've ever worked for. First interview was just to see how well I'd fit into the "company culture". I should have seen the Red Flag waiving. The place is very much like a cult.

Pros

- lots of autonomy - fast paced - interesting global network - down to earth CEO - I personally love the culture

Cons

Culture can be overwhelming for some people. There are high expectations to perform and also fit in. Some of the old guard do not want to change with newer management ( but seems to be working itself out)

Pros

Always something to repair or maintain. Supervisors are understanding of family or personal needs. Great coworkers.

Cons

Breakdown in communication between departments. High level employees have no idea how hard the production employees work.
