Pros

I can't think of any pros of working here other than I've made a couple good friends.

Cons

If you are a software developer or work in tech, STAY AWAY. They claim to be a technology company but the leadership doesn't know much about technology and the developers get blamed for everything. They don't give you enough time to work on your tasks then you get blamed when they're not done right. Also the code and general structure of the codebases is awful. You will spend hours trying to clean up messy code just to hear that you're not doing enough because most of them think cleaning up code should directly result in items from the backlog getting solved. And everyone you work with will end up stabbing you in the back, even your own manager. They all lie to get what they want and there is nothing you can do about it. Even submitting a formal complaint to HR gets zero response. Hands down worst job I've ever had.

Pros

The general expectation for employee performance across almost every department is extremely low. Virtually no retribution for not working or doing the bare minimum; and no bonus makes it even less motivating. Incompetent middle management makes it a breeze if you can just float away and collect your paycheck twice a month. Many thanks to the "personal lives" of most managers and leaders for making this possible.

Cons

Terrible place to start your career. If you work in Finance/Accounting or any other administrative department, you are in for some shell shock when you move on to your next role. The business systems here are all outdated and the technical proficiency at this Company is non-existent. Lots of favoritism and tuchy kissing. Tons of unqualified "lifers" promoted to positions they did not earn. The rest are hired externally from a narrowly defined Chicago circle of interrelationships. Promotions do not happen here. Compensation is very below market, benefits are not good. Huge incentives for doing bare minimum or waiting to get fired (which will probably never happen) if you exist within the staff through entry-level management level. However, if your mindset is in the 80's and your looking to up your acting skills - this is you place to be.
