Pros

Great benefits and great co workers. Working with one other person a majority of the time.

Cons

Union, it is nearly impossible to get fired no matter what type of employee you are. A lot of uncertainty with layoffs, with little information given by management. Company hired more people during a recent layoff. Gave new hires 2 weeks of classroom training. When new hires got to job location ready to begin their ojt, company told them they were no longer needed. These guys were dressed and ready to work. It was a slimy move the company.

Pros

Compensation is good. Employees can access deep discounts from customers and suppliers. There is national job transferability, which is excellent in helping accommodate a spouses career.

Cons

This company commoditizes it's people remorselessly. Working here is to be in a constant state of anxiety. Employee's lives are treated with reckless disregard; forced sudden long distance relocations; complex rules that change constantly and arbitrarily; severe discipline for minor infractions; frequent dismissals and suspensions. Junior and middle management often enforce rules unevenly an impulsively, and can be petty, vindictive, inexperienced, spiteful, arrogant and bullying. 60-70 hour work weeks, no personal, home, family or social time. A deliberately Byzantine burocratic labarynth for compensation and payroll. The CEO makes Bonaparte seem a well adjusted humanitarian.
