Pros

Pro-environment, Most employees are caring, Good benefits, Allow work from home, Extras include fitness center, company store, and now building onsite child care center. Nice campus. River Rd moves faster thanks to roadwork.

Cons

Declining morale due to continuing workforce reductions. May be on rotating on-call 7 days/week, every 5 or 6 weeks including evenings with no pay or comp time. At times it can be long hours, some weekend work.

Pros

Safe, fair, diverse work environment. Good brand name for resume building. Proper attention and equity for minority groups.

Cons

Seems to be diminished US job security with many roles moving to global subs in India and Mexico. It is easy to get lured in by growth and theoretical 'global opportunities' and then stifled by corporate politics and overlooked by global employees that are less expensive Growth opps appear to go to the following people: a. Dual citizens b. People willing to relocate domestic at 5% increase or less c. Ethnically diverse, military vet, or Executive female. Experienced poor environment as a Working Mom. The flex time that is mentioned during an interview was frowned upon and difficult to initiate. I felt silent penalization and pressure for enacting entitled benefits. While this company historically lands on the 'best for working moms' list. ..i met MANY who disagree.
