Pros

The company has an outstanding work-life balance with very generous benefits, and any time spent working unusually-long hours is often compensated for at a later date. Richmond campus is a spectacular environment that blows most offices out of the water. Summer internship program was engaging and very well-run; the full-time employees almost made us feel like family. The work was very stimulating given that it was an internship, and I was able to see how my work over the summer positively affected my team.

Cons

HR is a bureaucratic black hole; I received my signing bonus 4 months after I was supposed to. Performance feedback could have been much better, and HR and team management had numerous miscommunications. In addition, the business as a whole is highly cyclical, so keep that in mind if job security is a primary factor in your decision.

Pros

Great pay, relative to a lot of other employers - bonuses are individually based not company performance based - I always got a bonus there. Excellent work life balance - its really your choice whether you want to work a lot and advance more quickly or have a balance and progress more steadily. A highly analytical place, not for someone who repulses numbers.

Cons

Its gotten very big and it makes things frustratingly slow to get done. With a lot of growth and change there have been some areas of downsizing, but who hasn't seen that in this environment.

Cons

company only interested in profits and share price pay lip service to Associates and their welfare performance management actually produces the opposite effect
