Pros

Good commute for living in the suburbs. Love the Healthy Living Center on campus ($5 copays for the doctor, physical therapy, pharmacy, work out facility, massage therapist, etc). Good benefits and salary. Main Deerfield campus has nice, updated facilities.

Cons

Not much job security as more departments are turning to outside contractors and consultants. Not the best HR staff. Lack of leadership and mentoring in some departments. IT support and innovation seems to be behind the times (just got wifi in some of the corp buildings, can't print wirelessly or in other departments, etc). Senior Management is trying to emphasize culture and values but it's hard to believe in and live out with some of the decisions being made from the top down. 40hr work week has disappeared.

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.
