      Pros

      The programs that FIRST facilitates for kids are really great, and it is wonderful to be a part of it. Most positions get to travel at least once a year Many wonderful people work there Most people can wear jeans to work Most positions allow at least one remote (work from home) day, some managers are very flexible

      Cons

      Upper management very out of touch with day to day operations and unwilling to hear the feedback that customers have Very little advancement opportunity Low pay and even lower annual raise Management is not receptive to feedback, nor are they trained in people managing

      Pros

      Great to support a good cause, working with LEGO and so many amazing kids and dedicated volunteers.

      Cons

      Leadership does not practice "Gracious Professionalism" as they preach to through their programs. Leadership does not value innovation. No room for growth. Pay is low. Employee appreciation is very low.
