Pros

Got paid decently for my job. Didn't have to work a ton of overtime. Worked for and with some great people.

Cons

Used to be one of the last big companies that actually had work/life balance. In the last 5 years with all the acquisitions and changes in management/lay-offs, it has become a circus. The systems are outdated because the investment in that was obviously not a priority. Benefits have deteriorated, I might as well have bought my own health insurance. There are way too many layers and "towers" of management at corporate. No one knows what anyone does there anymore and who to go to to get any information.

Pros

pay was decent I guess

Cons

no promotions, no good management, a lot of people in positions that do absolutely nothing, very cliquey, constant checking in 1:1's, no growth in your career, favoritism, toxic environment.
