      Great place for a "job", but not a great place for a "career"

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Great benefits, especially 401k and tuition reimbursement. - Flexible hours and good work/life balance - Big company that is up-to-date on technology (SAP in particular)

      Cons

      - Very limited growth potential due to company size. - Surprisingly low pay, especially for a company this big, but that could have been the department I was working in and not representative of the company as a whole. - Lots of politics and finger pointing. Not a trustworthy environment. - Very old management style. Middle managers and managers do not care about employees as much as they should. - Despite being a very large and profitable company, not very well known (or not as known as they should be).
