Pros

There are a few initiatives that EMJ has rolled out in the past few years that they're really trying to get their employees to believe in. I think these ideas are great for our industry, and they should be the guidelines to how people live their personal AND professional lives. For my position, life-work balance is excellent. Our EVP allows us to have a flexible work schedule, but highly stresses that the work (and hours) must be done each week.

Cons

There seems to be a bit of sexism in my branch. No one from our other offices would ever know it when they visit, but having worked for EMJ for over a year, I witness it everyday and it's difficult (and awkward) to voice your opinion, or to be promoted to a position that you've a) expressed an interest in; and b) are more qualified for than someone hired outside of the company. While management says there is always an open door policy, their doors seem to be closed a lot, or they're never available. It can create an awkward moment weeks or months after something has occurred.

Pros

Great experience with lots of seasoned people to mentor you. At a lot of jobs, a bad CEO would be felt throughout the company, but the managers that you work with the most create such an impact that it dont matter if you dislike the CEO, CFO, or whoever else. Being out in the field is hard work but its fun.

Cons

Some of the corporate people are out of touch with the employees. The CEO took our ipads from the field and claims that he's here for us when he has never talked to most of us. He also cried a lot on all hands calls and that was weird.
