Pros

Extremely stable company. Good benefits. Very ethical. Room for advancement

Cons

Pay is average to below average. HR tries to shoehorn people into established positions regardless of actual duties and some positions are downgraded when people are replaced so they can save money. Divisions that were formally separate companies are not fully integrated, and some departments have silo style management, although to their credit, they are working on both of those issues.

Pros

Great employee benefits, not just health and dental, but beyond that. Great employees in general. Work life balance is perfect.

No complaints really, except for not always having enough work to do.

Pros

I absolutely loved my job and I was really good at it. Friendly environment. Opportunity/Room for growth.

Cons

Unforgiving point system that is definitely not formed with mother's in mind. I lost a lot of points because my kid's bus was running behind. My last point was because a deer totaled my car. I even abandoned my car immediately and tried to make it to work on time because I was more worried about points instead of the wreck. I was told I could apply again in 6 months by HR and then I found out that was a complete lie.(after WAITING for 6 months)
