Pros

Benefits that include dental, summer hours, tuition and travel reimbursement.

Cons

Let's just say that in 2012, upper management received a 5 or 6 figure yearly raise and very low level employees received $0.30 more an hour as a raise. And this is all while they were complaining that we had no money to waste on frivolous things. The salary is so low that it's barely a livable salary. There's no room for growth unless you suck up to upper management and compliment them 24/7. Employees are overworked, underpaid, and their work is insulted or ignored. This is a horrible environment to be in, not only for personal and career growth, but also for financial reasons. The HR Department is incompetent and refuses to even listen to employee concerns or discuss salary.

Rampant ignorance and disorganization

Pros

Company had okay benefits, including decent vacation policy.

Cons

Bad management, bad decisions, constant reorganizations...but never the right ones. Very unprofessional human resources. The department I worked in cared more about you being buddies with your co-workers than you doing a quality job. No one was ever held accountable for their mistakes...and there were a lot of them. Ineptitude is valued more, because that way the managers can always look smarter...even if they haven't a clue.
