Pros

Mostly good people to work with.

Cons

They keep taking things away that made it a great place to work. They say that they offer telecommuting and the opportunity to change your hours as needed. But that's not true. Also they do not offer changes for advancement as much as they say they do. Knew many people stuck in the same job for 20 years. I was there for five and could not get moved to a more challenging position.

Pros

Decent benefits, perks of working for a large downtown employer.

Cons

People with no business in leadership roles, moved up due to seniority or who they know, rather than skill level.
