Pros

- Solid career path -I have a clear outline of the roles i'm working toward and what I have to do to get there. - Variety - A # of initiatives are currently underway, so there's no shortage of projects to work on. Keeps things interesting and every day is different which is good. - Valued by mgmt team - Contributions, feedback, and input on approach to projects are encouraged and they never hesitate to say thank you - Location - Probably most ideal for people in the south/southwest suburbs, but it's accessible from the city. It's right off 57 or we're two minutes from a train station. - Freedom to work - I don't like to be micro-managed and I feel I'm given enough freedom to do my work. I'm given parameters of a project and allowed to accomplish it how i see fit.

Cons

- Communication between departments could use some work, a common problem with most organizations of this size. - A lot of new tools being introduced across the organization, so some hiccups with that that need to be worked out.

Pros

The teammates that I worked with were generally really great. Decent opportunity for learning

Cons

The benefits were not great, 3 year vesting to get a 401k match, insurance was sub par, time off was below average. In addition to this the management team is having a lot of turnover along with getting rid of people systematically (or what feels targeted). This is following some acquisitions that could have been great but because the teams are all operating in silos with what feels like no cohesive direction from the senior leadership. The products that are being sold are very old feeling/looking with no real changes on the horizon. Pair this with high level executive leadership changes that are pointing to a potential sale of the company which likely will come with more changes and loss of employment.
