Pros

Office is close to home and located in one location instead of scattered around the community. Upper management communicates with the staff through town halls.

Cons

Currently management is a little one sided. Shows a lot of favoritism, does not take suggestions well. Uncertainty of job stability. Recognition awards are not standard across lines of business. Benefits used to be high on the list but the retirement policies keep changing and become increasingly more complicated. Insurance benefits change every year and are getting more difficult to understand. Starts programs but does not follow through for very long. Upper management is constantly changing and middle management continues to increase while the working staff is being eliminated causing additional stress on the staff. Departmental projects started but not completed.

Pros

Great benefits, nice campus, on-site cafeteria with many options, on-site gym (fee is approx $15/mo). Nice/newly renovated buildings, with nice amenitites (break room, jump in/out offices for privacy). In general, work-life balance was good, especially being able to work remotely (additionally) as needed.

Cons

They tend to do re-orgs fairly often (every 1.5 years or so), so it can be hard to get promoted within your current role, you should plan on applying for other roles within the firm, at the level you are looking to be promoted to. Must work in office at least 3 days/week starting in 2026, used to be 2 days a week from 2021-2025. Which means parking will be crowded if you don't get there by 9am. Work stations are not reserved, so if you don't get there early enough and if you don't have a co-worker saving you a spot, you might not find a seat in your work area very easily.

Pros

Great benefits and work/life balance if you're on the right team.

Cons

Having a bad manager dictates everything about your job. You will see no upward mobility or compensation improvement if you are under a poor manager.
