Pros
stable work environment in an unstable economy Good benefits Great if you have a family Opportunity for advancement FT non hourly employees receive 1.25 days off per month for the first 5 years- that equates to 3 weeks off per year starting one month after hire.
Cons
training isn't done well. To long and too broad not enough training that is useful. Management looks to a select few of your peers to make decisions for them If you don't have kids your needs come second Advancement not necessarily based on merit- more based on how well you get along with your supervisor.- Some people who advance are not qualified to do the new positions The expectation is to over communicate to everyone. Feedback comes only at select times of the year/ your work cycle unless you have done something TERRIBLY wrong. So it is difficult to make improvements until you are made aware of areas others think you have room for improvement in.
