      Pros

      Great PTO hours, annual bonuses, paid holidays, profit sharing, 401k, HSA and FSA options

      Cons

      Prepare to be like a robot and if your thoughts are not the "ideal".. you better watch out. The senior leaders and management here are like a cult and if you are not prepared to sacrifice your personal opinions and sense of self then you will not make it here. Trust is not something that exists between management and non management. I would like to know how this place keeps ending up on the annual best places to work list. They will terminate you for going against the grain or basically for speaking up for yourself. They do not want to draw attention to themselves with regards to how often the unjustly terminate people so they offer severance packages so they don't have to deal with their messes after the fact. This place is a joke.

      Pros

      Decent work life balance. I met some really great people.

      Cons

      Low pay, lots of secret deals with management and the people they like, complete and total disrespect of support staff, good ol' boys club, many of the managers are unemployable at other firms. Lots of backstabbing, gossip, drama and outright lying from management.
