Pros

Option to work from home two days a week. If you can come to work, fly under the radar, meet minimum expectations and not speak to anyone, you'll do fine here.

Cons

Even in the first six months I worked here, I was surprised at just how unfriendly everyone was. Salaries are laughable, even for Memphis. Top talent consistently walks out the door for better paying jobs or even just a job where they feel somewhat respected. The key to success is to keep your personality and your opinions to yourself. There are even signs in the break rooms that remind you that no matter what you say, someone, somewhere is listening.

Pros

They provide a wealth of learning materials to further your career.

Cons

My experience was that upper management does not understand what those in lower level positions do, and they don't take advantage of experience and knowledge of those below them to make strategic decisions.
