Pros
Strong sense of community (feels like family), Strong business ethics, Great day care on premises, Management can be good mentors and offer good advice, Employees are very smart and kind.
Cons
Opportunity/ Promotion is non-existant (I've personally been rated at the top of my level for 5 years straight, with constant promises for promotion but no action- there's always an excuse). Yearly salary increases have become a joke. Average in 2011 was 1.8%. Often given a lot of responsibility and expected to over deliver, but not empowered to make the decisions/ changes necessary. Little management support. With the current environment (layoffs, numerous reorgs, understaffed area, etc), people have become distrusting, frustrated, and difficult to work with. Many have lost their passion for their job. Benefits declining over recent years. Technology is way behind industry norm. Over worked in multiple areas, no resources, starting to see a lot of negative impact to the business and processes. Concerned for future.
