Pros

Some of the benefits of working with Chartis is the new vacations/sick day policy. Previously you recieved 2-4 weeks depending on how long you were with the company and 8 sick days. Now all the days are combined into one. There is some opportunity to move within the company. My hours are pretty stardard but some work close to 60 hours a week.

Cons

It is more of who you know instead of what you know. Senior management comes down hard on people who do not produce. The new review process is complete garbage. People are grouped based on job function and then ranked 1-5, 1 being best and 5 being worst. In each group a certain percent must get a 4 or 5. Once you get this it is very difficult to move out of the hole and more then likely the next round of layoffs you are gone. In the my 5 years there we have experience 2 rounds of layoffs.
