Pros

Great pay/competitive salary Good benefits Flexible hours (could work 7-4 through 9-6) Security in parking lot (Somewhat overpriced) restaurant downstairs

Cons

Too many cooks in the kitchen: I had to answer to three people in my department, plus requests from other departments, and everything was "priority". I only had one boss and nothing was filtered through that person. Management seemed out of touch with the morale of the department TERRIBLE communication between departments Most of upper management has been there 25+ years and not open to change/new ideas (although that wasn't the case in my department) Everything is reviewed by paper. Understandable for print, but not web. Not only is it wasteful but it's hard to meet deadlines when you're having to chase down stuff from people in other departments b/c they're out or not paying attention.

Pros

Pay is somewhat decent, which helps offset some of the challenges, but it doesn’t fully make up for the growing strain on work–life balance.

Cons

Leadership tends to be distant, with limited transparency around decisions. Managers often micromanage day‑to‑day tasks, leaving little room for autonomy or creativity. Priorities shift without warning, and feedback isn’t always welcomed, which makes it hard to feel heard. The environment can feel disorganized, and long‑term planning is inconsistent at best. Work‑life balance opportunities has decreased over time, and policies that once supported a healthier balance are being scaled back or eliminated.
