Pros

Pay and benefits are decent for some senior level positions.

Cons

When the new IT leadership was brought in, they immediately crushed the culture that had been built over the previous five years. Culture activities were halted and culture reinforcement training was eliminated. Similar to conquistadors who would destroy religious and cultural centers and erect their own in their place. The annual culture survey results for IT were not shared with employees and the annual culture surveys are being eliminated as well. Promotions only occur if someone vacates a higher pay level as there are limits on how many senior and staff level positions. Merit promotions are nonexistent. This has caused division and resentment among coworkers.

Pros

Pretty good insurance cost per month and deductible for family. 401k and a pension. Bonus for all levels (I think). Stock bonus on top of regular cash bonus for level 10 and above. My group has excellent senior management that genuinely cares about the employees and heavily promotes from within. They give you chances based upon your abilities and not necessarily just your education/background.

Cons

CEO is concerned about hitting earnings guidance for 2023 at all costs and is selling off any cash flowing assets. 2024 will be a very rough year for the company.
