Pros
Good, knowledgeable, hard working staff. Salaries and benefits used to be competitive. Now employees have to look outside of company for market based pay and advancement opportunities.
Cons
Understaffed, expected to consistently work more than 40 hour each week. Mistakes not tolerated and can result in termination. Older employees pushed towards retirement to hire young, inexperienced cheaper resources. Salary increases 2 percent max annually. Benefits not competitive and employee performance incentive being reduced as part of aggressive cost containment measures. This will result in pay cuts for the majority of the staff. However, CEO continues to make 30M a year. Company does not invest in employee training. Company offers tuition reimbursement but is more likely to deny than approve the request. Bleak, low morale work environment.
