Pros

- Recently hired leadership is of top quality and has the right plans to turn around the company for long term success - Good benefits - Good cafeteria

Cons

- highly political. all that matters is keeping everyone happy and in check. results really optional - extremely poor quality Officer level leadership. new C-level has the right vision for the company but other leaders are stale and only care about "What's in it for me" without concern for company's bottom line - if you hate meetings, this place is meetings Mecca! - parking can be a headache during snow. can be long uncovered walk from parking lot - lack of innovation will undoubtedly be the cause of this company's demise - Finance leadership needs a major overhaul - Marketing teams are the best teams to work in - IT is good place to be and you won't have to work much because of poor leadership
