Pros

Amazing benefits and perks. It's mostly unheard of to get these kinds of perks. Having worked in both support and business departments, I can say they are completely different cultures. You are free to come in whenever you want and leave whenever you want if you are in a non-support role.

Cons

Most employees are very lazy and leave for the day way too early. Many managers don't seem to care about their team. Some have no clue what their employees are doing or not doing.

Compensation is not really based on performance, but rather on meeting sometimes strange company metrics/goals. It is always hard to make improvements as management thinks you don't like the current environment and you are against everything they say.

Advice to Management

Listen to your employees; don't turn them down because something is a company standard.

Pay attention to their actions. Most employees are afraid to say something because they always get turned down or their ideas get turned against them.
