Pros

Half day Fridays. Good Location.

Cons

All management positions are Whites Only. I was employed for 8 years. During that time not a single person in upper management was a non white person. Company has open racism. There was an unwritten rule that...... The front desk lobby position was reserved for perky, cute white girls only..... Which one occasion you could hear upper management make advances to. African Americans are treated poorly, looked over, and fired quickly.

Pros

Half-day Fridays Casual Friday Outdoor nature Pathway for walking during lunch

Cons

Feel Isolated, no one would talk to you unless you excessively put yourself out there, You never really feel like you're a part of the group Management is always unpredictable Assignments are usually taken from you by a higher up No free coffee or snacks. They do offer for a fee along with cafeteria No room for growth, there are people who have been there for 20+ years in the same position as when they started Lacks in diversity and non existent in leadership team Dress code is strict on men (TIES, dress shirt, Dress pants and dress shoes)but lenient towards women (flip flops, open toed shoes, dresses, jeans, you name it) Higher ups get the first spots for parking (reserved) so you're stuck with the ones in the back

Pros

-Half day casual-dress Friday -Christmas bonus $100-$200 -Free life insurance (1x your salary) -Vacation, sick, personal PTO -Annual company outing (bowling/bocce) -Spring monetary bonus (occurred last few years, amount varies) -1hr Lunch -$100 gym reimbursement -Volunteer opportunity with your department -Free tickets to events. Winners are randomly selected although some employees think there's favoritism (Bears, Sox, Blackhawks, Northwestern Basketball, Ballet, Ravinia)

Cons

-1% 401k match -Health insurance is pricey -Management doesn't appreciate/value good employees. -Upper management micro-manages supervisors instead of trusting and letting them do their job. -Employees are underpaid compared to other departments, but there's enough money for an airplane. CEO showed off his new purchased airplane during annual company meeting.
