Pros

This was a great company to work for 5 years ago. Anymore, there are no pros unless your in the union. Their pay, benefits, and treatment now exceed corporate employees and opportunities for advancement have vanished.

Cons

Management Culture and attitude drives out young, skilled talent. Very weak leaders that avoid confrontation and dismiss creativity and criticism as being disgruntled. HR bows down to them so unless you a manager or above your just a puppet that is expected to keep your head down and keep quiet until its "your turn". Not sure what happened over 5 years, but there is zero opportunity for anyone to move up unless your an MT where its guaranteed despite having no social skills or common sense.

Pros

This is a great place to start and grow your career, especially as an MT, with tons of opportunities to take on projects and explore what interests you. Leadership at every level is genuinely supportive and approachable, and people across the company are always willing to teach, mentor, and help you succeed. Compensation and benefits are competitive, and the Business Resource Groups really add to the sense of community and development.

Cons

There are so many opportunities that it can sometimes feel a little overwhelming figuring out what path to focus on. Balancing day-to-day work with all the development options can be a bit challenging depending on your role and workload.

Pros

Great people and strong coworkers across the organization. The company offers competitive pay, strong benefits, and good overall stability. There are many experienced employees who care about the work and are willing to help others succeed.

Cons

The organization can be very hierarchical, which sometimes makes it difficult to drive change or move quickly. Decisions often require multiple layers of approval, so it can take longer than expected to finalize direction or make progress. There is also limited flexibility compared to what many other companies offer, especially when it comes to working arrangements.
