Pros

The co workers are wonderful, sympathetic people. No one hides the fact that the working conditions are ridiculously stressful, and the only thing which matters is the amount of money that the company makes.

Cons

Revenue, revenue, revenue. Cost cutting, staff cutting, cut backs, save save save. Some offices make you send an email request everytime you need as much as a pen. Overkill!

Pros

Strong Leadership, Fair/Average compensation, Thrive Program (company strives to keep you employeed as Sponsor reallocations occur)

Cons

HR is very hands off. It is very difficult to speak to anyone. Not simple to call and ask a question. Everything has to go through a portal. This is challenging when there is time sensitive needs. They make it work but in my opinion, this is a 'con'.
