Pros

- Good CEO who listens, has innovative ideas and, I believe, cares about the employees and where the company is going. - Benefits- 401(k). Outstanding 401(k). Best that I’ve seen – especially in this area. - Large company. You have the opportunity to advance if you work hard enough and get to know the right people. - Bonuses. Annual salary increase and bonus. - Great vacation package. - Job security. - On-site cafeteria with pro-rated meals (at home office).

Cons

- Employee trust. Employees are called “associates”, but we aren’t treated as such. There is little employee trust. Everything is very regulated, there is usually a need to acquire at least one manager approval before any decision can be made. Even going to the on-site gym on your lunch break needed a manger sign-off at one point. - Attitude. There isn’t a willingness/openness for change from tenured employees. Attitudes can be very negative and condescending. Unwillingness for cooperation. Too many cooks in the kitchen. - Benefits – Medical. Abysmal. They made slight improvements in the last few years, but for a company this size, you would expect much, much better.

Pros

Multiple office locations across the country Hybrid system for those that like to be in office

Cons

Poor communication Low pay compared to other industry positions Software is old and outdated Positions that are typically salary are hourly based Most "surveys" to gauge employee sentiment are constructed in such a way that no negative feedback can be left Hybrid or in office is required, no option for full remote If you happen to be full remote, there is no upward mobility possible for you, period. Excessive workload Not very good benefits
