    Pros

    Tons of growth and opportunity for advancement. As someone who started when AU was just a WC company to see where it is now has been pretty cool. Lots of upper management started in entry level positions. I've made many friends here too.

    Cons

    There are some growing pains with the expansion. Changes come but don't always come quick.

    Pros

    Room for growth, benefits, growing company, treated fairly, challenging and engaging work

    Very antiquated and stuck in the past when it comes to PTO, dress code. Standards are different and enforced different depending upon team. Complete lack of interdepartmental communication.

    Pros

    Not many. Strange company, very rigid. Might be a good starting job. Good training period and they pay for your insurance license.

    Cons

    Super rigid company. Not flexible on anything when it comes to time and attendance to fit your schedule. Monotonous work. Shady products.

    Pros

    A good workload though at certain times it can hard complete in the timeframe that is expected of you.

    Cons

    PTO time is less than desirable in the first two years. Communication between departments is lackluster at times. This leads to things being duplicated between departments or unnecessary work.

    Typical Corporate Toxic Culture

    Pros

    This company seems to have good values, and if you like the stereotypical corporate environment, you would like to work here.

    Cons

    Poor work-life balance. This company is not very tech-driven and lacks innovation. It felt like wasting my life away in a dark sunless boring cubical. They want a worker to fill a position, and that's it.

    Pros

    Money. Hour lunch. Friends. In 8 hours there’s really only 2 hours of work

    Cons

    Old fashioned and not willing to change. Younger generations watch out. We need to get rid of this outdated workforce.
