Pros

Low cost medical benefits 401k matching

Cons

Constant reorganizations/restructuring No room for growth (especially if you're female) The only people being promoted are those who were sent here from overseas or who are rumored to have had relationships with their managers. Inconsistent messaging about policies - is working from home permitted? Many departments have employees who do this regularly, but if you ask HR, they say no even though there's nothing written in our handbook about it. Years back, the company claimed that "People are Everything," yet we're treated like children and told at a conference for all North American staff that we should stop complaining about legitimate grievances.

Pros

If you're invested in education, it's a great program to work in whether an early or seasoned professional.

Cons

Each center is different and work culture largely depends on the Center Instructor. Although the goals across centers is the same, you won't have a great time if you don't "click" with the Instructor.
