Pros

- Encouragement to be the best you can be. - Learning opportunities are good. - Management encourages creative thinking.

Cons

- Management will work you to the bone. They are trying to do too much with too few resources, constantly making me feel overwhelmed, and in the end unappreciated. - There are too many processes hindering productivity and causing frustration beyond belief. - Internal organizations don't always work well together. Getting help or cooperation from other organizations is problematic and another point of frustration.

Pros

To get a good name on your resume and some good sweatshop experience.

Cons

No pay raises or bonuses, long hours, no recognition and a very uptight place to work. Minimal communication with senior management. I have worked there for 8 years and would recommend getting out after 3. It is a good name to have on your resume but you have to endure the stagnant corporate culture.
