Pros

Large company with opportunities for advancement and relatively low-cost health insurance. Diverse employees from different cultures. Stable with diverse portfolio of industries which help with flucuations in the market.

Cons

Large company and clear vision not usually apparent. Can get lost in it's enormity. Not the best paying large company in Mpls/St. Paul and surrounding area. Poor middle managers.

Pros

The compensation was great and there were tons of opportunities globally with this company. I received a raise within six months of working there.

Cons

The hours were extensive. I went three weeks without an off day. And this was not during a special time or anything. We were just understaffed. Many of the managers did not seem to have a personal life.

Pros

Good work life balance. Salt of the earth people. Supportive and ethical culture where people are valued, and folks want to do the right thing. Opportunity for new challenges and to take your career in different directions.

Cons

Consensus culture and a myriad of policies can make for slow decision making. Tendency over the years to cut costs and run more and more lean, means people can become overloaded and this can impact performance and engagement.
