Employment status: current

Not for those that don't like change or "being in the know."
Pros: Great work life balance, coworkers (peers) are great, some solid and hard-working people are here in the trenches.  The health and welfare benefits are solid with many choices and lots of coverage options and there is a good employee discount program.  There is also frequent online training for the masses to keep everyone current on the most troublesome issues.  There is a flexibility for work from home or any local office that you can find space at.  There is also flexibility to work around personal issues if you are regularly a solid employee and do your work on time.  There is also the opportunity for advancement if you are taking care of your own career.
Cons: Communication is horrible and important issues are buried or glossed over.  Management is slow to make decisions and is not very good at following up on issues.  Employees can be treated as resources and are expected to pick up the slack or shortcomings of management or are burdened with the outrageous deadlines that the management team up the ladder has decided is the important item of the day.  Outsourcing makes muddling through technology issues difficult (language barriers) and you can be left speaking with rep after rep until you find someone that understands what you are trying to resolved instead of one that just keeps reading the same canned response for over and over.  Corporate reporting is inaccurate and the field is made to rectify.
