Pros

Compensation is generally competitive, Benefits above average. Facilities are well kept at corporate office.

Cons

Company is making record breaking profits yet all employees are overworked as corporate eliminates headcount and shifts the work onto the remaining employees. They know about problems and refuse to fix them (no work/life balance, company's future is shaky in the face of new technology, management and practices are bloated and antiquated). All employees are cogs. HR is a revolving door. IT is extremely overworked and have to deal with outdated technology. Diversity at the top of the org chart is non existent. Annual review process is too complicated and time consuming.
