Pros

Great benefits i.e. Health, Dental, Vision, 401K, generous yearly vacation time; office building is nice

Cons

With so many lay offs, morale is at an all time low. Recognition for great work is not acknowledged often enough. Headquarters from overseas sends over upper management to do the dirty work of laying off U.S. employees; jobs are constantly being out sourced to overseas; the lay offs of thousands of people still continues...no end to lay offs. No room for advancement.

Pros

I used to love working here. I love the people I work with. The level of clients we get to work with is great. National, International brands.

Cons

Frequent reorganizations, salaries are not even keeping up with inflation (which is not a "merit" increase, additional responsibilities for no additional compensation, frequent layoffs and offshoring. When layoffs occur, there are always several positions / responsibilities that are not backfilled and no longer owned by anyone. Changing work from home / hybrid / full time back in office policies continue to change. Employees no longer trust the leadership. There is no stability. There is no incentive to do great work. It has not been valued.
