Pros

I am not sure the benefits can be beat. The company has been in business for over 150 years and is very successful. There are lots of very smart and dedicated employees. They tend to be very careful with hiring cycles and will usually do their best to avoid having to let people go in the downturns.

Cons

Slow! All decision making, processes and projects seem to take longer than expected. IT has moved to a global structure which makes them even more removed and slower to get things done. For a large and successful company, their direct marketing and CRM efforts are well behind the times. Also it seems they keep moving these Professional Development Program people around at the expense of those that have been here.

Thank you for your review. We are pleased that you see the great value of our benefits and the value of being part of our 150 year old family, and that you enjoy being surrounded by smart, dedicated colleagues. There are a lot of development opportunities outside of our Professional Development Program. We have an open job posting process; in addition, there are plenty of training offerings and plenty of ways to expand your professional horizon by joining various project teams, and by networking. We recommend that you have a conversation with your manager and/or Human Resources Business Partner to discuss your development goals.
