Pros

The pay and benefits are very good, with an excellent work-life balance to boot. Vacation time was excellent, 401K match was standard and the health benefits were great. It is a large company with a lot of room for improvement. Employees are also eligible for bonuses in most areas. Awesome food selections and location.

Cons

Promotions are a little lacking, even if just a title promotion such as Sr. etc. There is little to no recognition depending on your area, and the food is so good you gain too much weight!!!

Pros

Decent, though not outstanding benefits; Fairly stable company; Their public facing image is terrific, very community minded, etc - don't seem as compassionate internally . . .

Cons

Training was non-existent; position was presented as one thing but in truth was very different; very indecisive and out-of control management; focused totally on short-term results not the right thing for customers; a lot of back-stabbing low end managers trying at all costs to rise above one another.
