Pros

Great fitness center. Building is very pretty. There are some decent people that work there. Smart and know what they are doing....unfortunately, most of those people are overlooked. It used to be a great place to work. Everyone worked for a common goal...not anymore.

Cons

The network is mismanaged, card has their act together. Repeat mistakes, and deplorable upper management.

Pros

Nice, well maintained facility. Flexible scheduling for work-life balance. Some usefull skills can be acquired on some jobs. Decent benefits package.

Cons

No morale and no concern by management about it. Work issues relating to co-workers DO NOT get resolved. There is little opportunity for advancement and it hinges mostly on cliques. The pay is below average. There is a clear divide between management and non-exempts (unless the manager is your best friend)

Pros

Work life balance/flexible work schedule Work from home options Benefits Willingness to spend money on training Good executive management team

Cons

No defined career path Promotions are based on who you know and not results oriented or how hard you work Middle management is a joke and has been put there because of relationship with upper management regardless of if they have leadership capabilities or not Salaries do not match industry Focused more on business model than technology that supports the function of that business
