      Very political. Not ideal for longterm career growth. Great if you want to punch in punch out. And coast to retirement.

      Pros

      Good perks on-site: gym, massage, haircut, car wash service (mon & wed) day-care, snacks Okay benefits: 3 weeks vacation for new hires (4 weeks @ 10 years), matching 401k up to 6% (100% vested) Some great people to work with. Laid back environment. (Jeans ok all week long) Good facilities, great location next to Spectrum. Taste panel (help shape products that are or will be launched) Summer - Holiday hours (45 mins added to Mon - Thurs., half day Fridays)

      Cons

      Okay to below average pay. Very, very political! Odd review process: all managers review you. If anyone doesn't like you they can shoot down your positive review. Whole company gets review at same time, but they only have a limited number of slots available for above target and/or promotions. But they swear you aren't competing against each other. Lots of managers very few leaders. Lots of "yes men" Poor direction, focus, and career development. Company is all about marketing. So spin is big, process is not. Thus everything is it's own special one off. You will be constantly solving the same problems over and over again. Departments are very siloed. Poor transparency, information is a weapon, politics rule.

      Pros

      Flex hours. Many free meals. Friendly environment

      Cons

      Their technology is so outdated it dates back to the 1980's and the new technologies they are trying to bring along are not any newer. Their competitors are 10 or more years ahead. Believe it or not they still use modems to communicate with computers. It is a very political place. Do work here if you are a good politician. Don't work here if you want your work to be valued for what is worth. Many senior managers are very arrogant, they think they know everything and don't want to hear bad news. They get offended very quickly Yearly raises suck. If you meet your job's expectations the most you are going to get is a 2% raise. That is typical. In other words with inflation running at 3-4% every year you are worst off every year. An employee with 7 or more years is better off finding a job somewhere else in order to catch up with his/her salary. Don't blame Taco Bell. To sell meals for 89 cents they need to cut corners.
