Pros

Good PTO time, never worked more then 40 mostly because on hourly pay. starting pay was good.

Cons

level of HR is not in the US. That make very hard to do anything with them. I took over 3 weeks of emailing them back to get my new hire paperwork going. I was in Wisconsin the my US HR person was in Texas. Made meets and phone calls hard. when they would return my call. In one year I have 3 different HR people. They screwed up my taxes by setting my state taxes in the wrong state. Which end up costing me over 1200 buck. I would have my manager yell at talk down to people all the time. Face to face and in emails. Set email to HR and was told nothing they could do or they would not reply. Very under staff. They help deskshould have 3 people but on a couple months out of a year did we have 3. A lot of the time it was me and 1 helpdesk guy. turn over for helpdesk was like every 3 months. No training proved for the site.

Pros

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Cons

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
