      Pros

      PTO - good time off. Three weeks to start (combination of vacation and sick time).Four weeks after 5 years. You can accumulate up to a week over Good insurance but expensive - I pay about $500/month for a family 401k - no employer match Some employees have the ability to work from home full time. Some can do it occasionally. It depends on your supervisor. Nice building with cafe. Convenient location in Indy

      Cons

      Twice since I've been there, we have been forced to take accumulated PTO because mananagment didn't want it on the books. This time we were given 1 day notice to take a designated amount in the month of June. This created hardship for employees trying to cover and customers. Lots of turnover. About 50% per year in the sales team. Not much seniority. In the Indy office average seniority is less than 5 years. No security. I always feel like today could be my last day. New faces always appearing and lots of mini "layoffs" In my department there is a lot of cya. Looking over your shoulder. Moral in the Indy office seems pretty low. Getting office supplies is next to impossible - and this is an international company! Communication is not very good. In my department policies change weekly. Within the company it's a musical chair for approvals. You can get whip lash keeping up with the change in company focus/strategy. One person I know has had 11 supervisors in 4 years. I think as the economy picks up there will be a mass exodus.
