Pros

Lots of opportunities within the firm

Cons

They just reversed their stance on Home Based Associates, forcing anyone within an hour commute to come into the office 3 days a week. This means that everyone hired in the last few years that accepted packages based on the benefit of HBA are now in a lower tier than their colleagues who are not in the commutable area. This type of decision and callous approach have been consistent with an experience that is counter to what the company touts as its culture and how it was described when I was hired. It's been a steady decline of associate focus with a keen eye toward delivery and profit. They appear to be nothing more than another executive focused, big corporation.

Pros

- Decent benefits programs. - Teammates who cared about the quality of work they provided and the people they worked with. - Direct superiors who were people of integrity that I respect immensely and wish nothing but the best for.

Cons

- Recent removal of remote work for all associates regardless of how long they had worked remotely previously (13 years in my case). This push to onsite work will damage long term profitability and likely cause a mass exodus of talented associates (if it has not already). - Massive amount of offshore outsourcing that has greatly reduced the quality of work at the home office. - Lack of flexibility regarding work schedules that has severely damaged work-life balance.
