Pros

Insurance, experience. If you can find the right people to know there it helps in terms of day-to-day enjoyment - if you want to have positive experiences, find the positive people there. There was a cafe downstairs that served fresh breakfast and lunches. There are some private, comfortable rooms for mothers to pump.

Cons

What used to be a fairly positive atmosphere - even under pressure and deadlines - turned into a soul-sucking grind. Many of the changes made by the higher ups were completely disconnected to what was right for certain departments (people and product). Some of the people who have been working there a long time are fantastic - they work hard and they care about what they do. They deserve better, but are too scared to ask for it. "I should just be grateful to have a job" and "I just don't care anymore" is heard a lot there. Some benefits/leave policies were confusing (where even different HR people would give different answers to the same questions)

Trying times, but little loyalty to employees

Pros

Lots of smart folks, great co-workers. Interesting work.

Cons

Little loyalty to employees, and not much encouragement for giving feedback, if it's at odds with proposals by higher-ups. Generally, in this kind of work, at other places, a variety of opinions is solicited, either because you want to reach a mass audience outside the building or you recognize that you have a smart, curious and engaged workforce inside the building. Not so much here.

Pros

There is a cafe downstairs and rooms for mothers to pump. The health benefits are very good because it is a Cox owned company.

Cons

Location and traffic are horrible. "clock in, clock out" mentality. If I wanted that I would not have gone to college and stayed in retail. They are so antsy and scared people aren't working that they make people feel micromanaged. You have a badge and are asked why you left at 5:24 and not 5:30. It makes you want to be a clock watcher...because they are. They also do not train you on product and have a wonky insertion order process.
