      Pros

      This used to be a great company. Compensation is satisfactory. First level management is good and recognizes good work.

      Cons

      Constant outsourcing. Constant fear of layoffs / lack of job security. Poor decisions by upper management. Inter-department finger pointing / competition. Too many duplicated efforts by different departments. Mike Splinter is in charge. Difficult to get promotion to the next level.

      Strong history, weak present-day execution.

      Pros

      Position allows for flexible hours. Nice people on the lower-levels of the food chain. As a contractor, pay is decent.

      Cons

      Business Units don't communicate well, if at all, with each other. No understanding how outsourcing affects morale of domestic employees. Many outsourced employees have little-to-no command of English language...hard to coordinate.

      It's a paycheck, not necessarily a career unless you are into politics or work in India, China....

      Pros

      Some decent benfits remain, better than unemployment, immediate co-workers hard-working, large company "security"

      Cons

      Time off cut, No raises in over 4 years, no bonuses in four years, can't pay the mortgage with stock awards, upper management clueless, America workers are slowly being phased out....
