Pros

Most colleagues were very good to work with. Benefits are on-par with competition. Free candy and ice cream!

Cons

Inconsistent management. If you got on the wrong side of your manager, forget any career progression. Your one-up manager will back up that manager, and there's no where to go except out. Management seemed to lack clear direction for the organization. Lots of organizational changes across the board. If you got a good manager, but you weren't a great employee, you could be around for a long time. The inverse is true as well, if you have a bad manager, but a good employee that hasn't been given opportunity, you could be out the door very quickly.

Pros

Smaller business unit that allows for collaboration across functions Nice office location

Cons

Leadership including management team is incompetent - no idea what they are doing; people with little experience in what they are doing are promoted Management does not take accountability for actions, instead likes to push the blame to others in the organization Cannot voice opinions unless in line with leadership (or see your performance reviews suffer) Mediocrity is rewarded Management pretends to care about associates - with lunches, cupcakes, and smiles, but this is all a farce The principles of the organization do not show themselves here which is an utter disappointment given that this segment is run by a family member.
