      -Mindset of employees who have worked here for 30+ years which makes being innovative problematic -Inability to get management's approval for flexible scheduling -Routine work that is made to seem like it is more than what it is -Inability to advance career due to insignificance of current department

      Declining benefits give employees more reason to look for jobs elsewhere.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Large, well known company. Working with a diverse workforce.

      Cons

      Bad decision making by managers. Benefits are not inline with other companies of this size in our region. When pension was frozen/ended, only a certain group (10 yrs service, XX yrs or older) received any makeup in the new retirement plan (5% for 5 years). This sent a bad message to employees who may have had the years of service but were a little younger than required by the plan.

      Positive with lots of opportunity for career growth

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Global company that exposes you to the dynamics of the global economy. There is a lot of opportunity for career growth early in your career if you join with the appropriate degrees.

      Cons

      You must work internationally and be willing to move in a moments notice to ensure a healthy upward trajectory. Base salary is slightly low for the area, but benefits are top of class.
