Pros

Good benefits. Until the restructuring started, great management team and great colleagues to work with. If you're a college graduate, great opportunity because you'll get preferential treatment over everyone else--with no accountability.

Cons

Since restructuring started, most are uncertain if they will have a job in a month, even upper management. The environment is very untrusting, in fighting between departments and very frustrating to get day-to-day things accomplished because no one will make a decision. Every little thing has to be approved by several people. All authority has been removed from middle management.

Pros

Great co-workers; smart people who are dedicated to doing good work. There is a general kindness and everyone seems willing to help each other.

Cons

The pay is low, and everyone seems stretched thin. There is little structure to ensure local leaders follow good practices. Evaluation of performance tends to be highly subjective. There seems to be very little management of the management.
