Pros
The outstanding physical environment and benefits targeted for young workers make SAS a great place to start a career. Because of this, the company attracts a highly competent and dynamic professional workforce. Employee turnover is very low and most employees end up staying at SAS for the duration of their career. However, compensation and opportunities are modest. If you want the fast track, SAS is probably not for you.
Cons
Benefits are good for young employees starting their career, but the profit sharing and retirement benefits are marginal at best. Take a good long look at the retirement package offered by SAS before you consider devoting your career to the company. There has been a significant decline in long-term benefits over the past 10 years and you can expect the trend to continue. Basically, if you don't think you can save enough for retirement on your own, don't plan to stay at SAS for your entire career.
