Pros

The people. We are a family, and I drive into work excited to spend time with smart, passionate, and collaborative people. The work is challenging and exciting, and gives back as much as you give. I have great work life balance, so when I do have to stay late or come early I am happy to do it because I know I am contributing to our strategy.

Cons

The work can be manual because we are a big business on some legacy systems, but I know it is in our plans to improve this as we grow.

Pros

One of the few global publicly traded companies in the area

Cons

Made Forbe's "Bottom of the Barrel - America's Worst Corporate Citizens" list again. Overall morale is low; extremely high turnover. Constant cost cutting to the point that it is nonsensical. Incompetent, thoughtless leadership.

Pros

Cafeteria available to employees, plus a company store with a discount on available products. Good location, gives back to the community

Cons

micro managed, HR is terrified of management; complaints from multiple employees about management gets swept under the rug. Too much disconnect in procedures due to various locations across the US. Doesn't value employees. Bonuses are a joke as well as review process.
