Pros

Great benefits Paid time off accruals are nice Miss the Christmas bonuses

Cons

Top heavy company with lots of departmental redundancies Favoritism is rampant Hard work and profiency will get you nowhere Arrogant smug supervisors and managers and Directors, very unprofessional and unfortunately they have the most influence Spoiled brats are well liked and quickly promoted Poor communication ineffective management Recommendation is to work there and learn all you can and leave before you get stuck If you get hired and you are black don't even think about advancing or promotion (unless they send you over from France or a sympathizer in HR hires you from the outside for an executive level position, I don't think she is there anymore) Place is like High School, lots of gossip Exclusive atmosphere, smiles are not genuine No loyalty Poorly qualified managers that seem to think micromanaging is all there is to managing Tends to developed skilled teams then hire a babysitter (manager) from a different department who doesnt have a clue to manage knowledgeable associates Tense environment with a lot of arrogant smug individuals, they are well liked. The President is a Bigot
