Pros

- Good coworkers - Certain departments have a slightly more flexible telecommute policy - Semi casual work attire, meaning jeans are allowed and shorts and gym shoes every Friday (no t-shirts unless allowed on specific days) - Once a quarter, or so, small company functions - No fighting traffic in to, or out of Chicago (assuming you live in the south suburbs)

Cons

- Substandard pay (absurdly low in some instances) - Certain areas have management structures that are far too complex (this theoretically alows for carrer advancement, but so many of those positions seem to be filled from outside) - Because of the above, certain areas have high turnover rate

Pros

The teammates that I worked with were generally really great. Decent opportunity for learning

Cons

The benefits were not great, 3 year vesting to get a 401k match, insurance was sub par, time off was below average. In addition to this the management team is having a lot of turnover along with getting rid of people systematically (or what feels targeted). This is following some acquisitions that could have been great but because the teams are all operating in silos with what feels like no cohesive direction from the senior leadership. The products that are being sold are very old feeling/looking with no real changes on the horizon. Pair this with high level executive leadership changes that are pointing to a potential sale of the company which likely will come with more changes and loss of employment.
