Often times free food. Not catered but other employees bring in food to share, sometimes the boss brings in Donuts on special occasions, and sometimes beer on Fridays.
Cons
Pays very, very little. No immediate supervision below the head of the company, means little oversight and resulting in employees often missing news articles for clients. The clients never know what they're missing.

Because our team works hard to preserve a great company culture, not every person is a good fit for our team. Universal is not a company built to micromanage employees, it is a platform for professionals to excel and build on their skills. One of our core values is Always Be Accountable. That is true for our team members, but also our management. It is true that occasionally a news story can get missed, for a variety of reasons. However, a missed article is rare and we are one of the only media monitoring services that will work to recover a missed article for our clients. Our clients are the best, they expect the best, and we work hard to deliver the best.

Cool office, decent healthcare, decent pay depending on position.
Cons
Management is frequently late to meetings, causing meetings to lack direction and focus. President of company often has WAY too many projects going at once, leaving no time for proper execution or management of projects. Company is managed by former military personel, so you can imagine how up tight and strict everything is. People frequently fall asleep in certain areas of the headquarters pretty much every day I worked there, management often joked about it, which in turn infuriated most people that actually did meaningful work at the company. Company often lacks a salesmen for whatever reason, which stunted the growth of key departments. There was always massive amounts of internal office drama surrounding pretty much every department. Lack of professional development and investment into employees is glaringly obvious as well.

It is unfortuante when a good team member finds they can no longer perform well in their position. This director did very well in the beginning, but life circumstances seemed to interrupt their growth. However, the level of drama at that time did grow to a point where we had to move some team members off our team, after trying to work with them to eliminate the turmoil they were causing. Company culture is one of the biggest benefits we have, when that culture is harmed by an employee, we will work even harder to mitigate that issue.
