Pros

Large company with lots of opportunity for some individuals. Heavy emphasis on consistent short-term profitability. During the recent economic instability, this has served them well in making sure the company stays afloat. Their management training program is limited to a select few, but is very well done for those that qualify.

Cons

Does provide good opportunities to some people, but others will find themselves deadlocked or out of a job without knowing why. The clear priority is to the shareholders and profitability (as it should be) but there is not enough recognition that development of employees is one critical piece of this. They tend to hire from the outside due to a lack of internal talent, and have not yet developed the internal programs to develop their own.

Pros

Plenty of parking, close to highway

Cons

Workplace is toxic, dysfunctional, and psychologically draining. Management is the root cause of problems, fostering a culture that tolerates: Harassment Intimidation Favoritism and nepotism Sexism Employees are expected to remain silent and continue working under constant pressure. High levels of: Employee burnout Stress Overwork Turnover Human Resources protects the company and management rather than employees. Complaints are often minimized, ignored, or redirected without meaningful resolution. Issues are widespread and known by many employees, though some are reluctant to speak publicly. Prospective employees seriously reconsider working there, the company presents a positive image externally but has a deeply unhealthy internal culture marked by poor leadership, lack of accountability, and low employee well-being.
