Pros

Above average benefits, including vacation time, 401k, tuition reimbursement and health insurance. This is a global organization, so you could potentially be collaborating and connecting with peers across the globe. Very conducive for learning and absorbing global strategies. Pay is aligned with market and is often beyond market value for position. Telecommuting is encouraged.

Cons

The global organization is a double edged sword. The sheer size of this place often makes it difficult to get things done. There seems to be a never ending "transition" to move out of regional silos and into a more global structure. Easier said than done. The struggle is constant and wears on the employees trying to get things done. No one on the management team (or above) seem to have the answers. The Elmhurst, IL office is dismal, but a new office space is been constructed in Arlington Heights.

Pros

Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

Cons

At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
