Pros

If you're a lower level employee it's a relatively easy place to work. Middle managers are pretty nice and you get a good holiday schedule. Benefits are decent (although they definitely beat you over the head about how good the benefits are, in an effort to keep anyone from leaving. They're good, not THAT good).

Cons

Where to begin? I'll keep it short, since the previous reviewer said most of what I'd say too. Senior management is a collection of aggressive personalities, with little to no true managerial skills, mostly focused on saving their own skin. Middle management is crushed under conflicting expectations and minimal support. It's a "butts in the seats" kind of place. So as great as they say their benefits are, don't expect work/life balance to be one of them. Although, the same rules don't apply to senior management. Expect to be watched in every way: email monitoring, log-in activity, tracking where in the office you are, when you come and go for lunch. But the worker bees are some really hard working and good people, so at least you're not in it alone. Spending all that money to rebrand from Access Group didn't change anything within the company. All around crappy environment due to truly bad, sometimes just mean, management. The turnover rate speaks for itself.

Pros

Good mission and good coworkers

Cons

Management seemed a bit distant in taking feedback and very hands on at times, often to the extent of micromanaging even with limited experience.
