Pros

The company itself was great. Great health insurance and overall benefits. Salary okay. In all, I could never complain about the actual company.

Cons

Not crazy about some of my co-workers in my department. At times, I felt as if I was back in high school with the clicks. My co-workers were nice as individuals, but put them all together...ugh! It wasn't uncommon for some to take 2 1/2 hour lunches to go shopping on Michigan Avenue, have personal shoppers meet them down in the lobby and then model their clothes in the office hallway, or just go out drinking knocking back two pitches of booze and then returning to work. My favorite, showing up late to work in the morning because they wanted to go out to breakfast and never calling to say they will be in...they would just show up to work after they got done eating...at 10:00 a.m. I suppose if I was into all that I would have enjoyed my experience a little more, but I was too honest and probably way too uptight. However, got along real well with people in other departments. They didn't pull that nonsense. Remember, when your co-workers do stuff like that...somebody always pays for it.

Pros

Some nice and capable ppl

Cons

Bosses cannot work with each other across dept. Staff always get caught in between. Work is not appreciated and can be deemed as "thankless job".
