Pros
I liked the people I worked with they were nice and friendly. I enjoyed the open enviroment.
Cons
The pay for office is really low which really sad because I really enjoyed working there. There is a lot of issues though with people that you work with here, because once you do something to help out then you suddenly own the position... even if that was not your intention. Honestly, management should really think about what it is that their employees need.

Pros
Bacon Predictability Steady career track
Cons
Unbelievably sexist - as in, the way they avoid sexual harassment issues is to not promote women into areas where known harassers are operating. To be clear, they know where these people are, and instead of doing something about their behavior, they work around it by limiting the "targets" they put within these men's reach. Heard this first hand on a sexual harassment call. The diversity and inclusion board they were so proud of was composed of 23 white people and 1 POC. During one company conference, a consultant, a woman of color was presenting and made a point that very few of the attendees had bothered to talk to her while at the resort. One of the managers piped up that yes he had, he asked her for towels the previous evening. To great laughter.
