Pros

Stable company with good benefits, vacation time and excellent pay. If you show up on time, leave on time and rarely call in sick - you are golden.

Cons

Seems to have missed the boat on cultivating their internal talent. Upper management seems to ignore the skills that their employees are best at - taking intelligent people and pigeonholing them into roles that do not challenge or utilize what they are best at . Once overheard a Sr. Exec refer to their employees as "a bunch of monkeys" WOW - Tell us how you really feel about the people you have doing jobs you have no knowledge to do yourself?! Places people in supervisory roles with zero emotional intelligence who have no experience dealing with direct reports.

Pros

1) Current Manager and Dept Head are very supportive with work/life balance. Feel like I can do things outside of work. 2) There are some left in the company with great advice and lessons, have to hunt them down across the company though.

Cons

1) Almost no team oriented mindset. Getting help on porjects is like pulling teeth. You will also most likely work by yourself on a lot of stuff. 2) Experienced people all left. No higher knowledge to learn or gain experience from. 3) 2 weeks vacation seems pretty low bar. 4) Very much gut feeling reactions, not team or data driven decisions being made. 5) You will hear conflicting philosophies frequently. Whether its no bandaid solutions, taking the time to fix issues, or we need data driven decisions. 6) Unless you are higher on the food chain, you probably wont be listened to. Ties in with the lack of a collaborative environment. 7) Depending on your position, you may be constantly on call. 8) Lost desire to move up, seems like higher positions will just make you live here.
