Pros

-health and benefits are good, very liberal so you can claim all things to do with health or wellness -basis of the company (pooles' rules) are some to live by and it's respectable to do business this way -they've changed their ethics hotline to be managed by a third party so eliminating conflicts or cover ups

Cons

-The base pay isn't comparable to similar companies, and the argument is always the shares are good but similar companies have similar share offerings sometimes better so that argument doesn't hold water. -They are struggling to modernise the company to be more inclusive, right now it's a great place to work for a young man but not as desirable for women. -Higher level positions are a two person job, people holding those positions often their spouses gave up their own careers to help them achieve that level including moving around the country. Which would favour men to be able to reach that level.
