Pros

Easy work load good benefits

Cons

The place is run by women for women. Promotions are often given to women who are less experienced than their male counterparts. There is a womens leadership network, a dvieristy committee that has representation from ever type of group except whites and males. The diversity award is often given to an insider minority who works within the HR department.

Pros

Make your own hours Compensation package is good- good benefits and pension Ability to work offsite (from home) Subsidized lunches (at Atria)

Cons

It's like being transported into 1985. Technology is several generations behind. My desk phone is a NT model from 1978. I'm not kidding. The environment is highly political. Decisions are not made on sound business cases or good judgement. It's all about playing the political game. If you're thinking of working here, I'd advise you to give it some serious thought. The environment is poisonous, and you're just a number. Believe me when I tell you the company does not treat and support employees in a way that makes them feel respected or appreciated. There are worse places to work, but this isn't the kind of place anyone should waste their time with. Life's too short to compromise in this case.
