Pros

There are benefits that are pretty average for the area.

Cons

Bizarre company. Built a huge expensive building, added on to the building with even more lavish accommodations including a three-story wall of water and waterfall, huge gym, yoga/dance studio. Built a separate natatorium with a 5 lane pool. Built a multi million dollar "corporate center" that 98% of the employees do not use nor are even allowed in. All of that money could have been spent positioning the company for the future by smart recruiting of talent. Then the leadership changes, nearly half the company is laid-off, fear and distrust rampant, the remaining talent starts leaving. Nepotism, sucking -up and belonging to the good old boys golf club are the only ways to get ahead. Glassdoor ratings plummet. Now, two years into this supposed tightening to run the business better with P&L being the priority, the pool is still operating, the yoga instructor is still employed, personal trainers still there. Big expensive building with only 1/5 of it being used. Yet valuable long term once-loyal employees are forced out for speaking out against the insanity. And more money is being spent to open up offices around the world. Oh, and that company that was purchased....seems that the owner is friends with that owner. Hm.

Pros

Average to maybe higher pay. If you've been there a while you have great perks. Benefits are good. Work life balance is excellent. If you're straight out of college it's a great place to START.

Cons

Management is very political. Leadership is told what they want to hear and not what they need to hear. There are definitely some biases ...( *** bias, ) going on. Benefits would be great...if they worked. I had to get dental and vision insurance elsewhere because the ones minitab has are not accepted anywhere in my area.
