Pros

Nice cafeteria, bicycles offered for on-campus commuting, good health insurance and benefits, hard to get fired

Cons

You may be moved to a new department to accommodate business needs. This could happen once a year. Having a new manager every year can be hard to develop a solid reputation and get promotions. PTO is taken in 15min increments. If you need to leave 15min early and didn't come in 15min early, you have to take PTO. You only get 2 weeks PTO a year. If you have kids, this equates to not even enough to stay home when they are sick, take to doctor visits, etc. When you run out, you go unpaid. Nepotism goes unchecked here. Gross micromanagement and office politics.

Pros

Professional development opportunities, generous PTO, inexpensive medical benefits.

Cons

Employees quit their jobs for countless different reasons; resigning to be a stay at home parent or to go back to school are understandably challenging motives for employers to address. Fortunately, the majority of people don’t actually leave their jobs for these reasons, despite how Human Resources may finagle the exit interview responses, the truth is people leave managers – or in Canon Virginia’s case the lack thereof. It is noteworthy that Canon Virginia Inc. values professional development and provides opportunities for employees to improve their skill sets. However, more often than not, it is nearly impossible to utilize the skills, tools and information learned due to the lack of technology (network outages lasting multiple work days are embarrassingly common) and managements willingness to change is nearly nonexistent. The reasons to NOT work here are endless but should you get the pleasure to interview with this company and wonder if any of these reviews are true, simply ask for the number of people who have resigned within the Human Resources department within the past twelve months - the number is appalling.

Pros

Good benefits for health, dental, and vision. Plenty of paid time off and shutdown time. Pleasant environment is mostly climate controlled.

Cons

Mediocre pay to start. Poor raises leaves only promotions as a means to real raises. No real training. Just jump in and learn from mistakes.
