Pros

Good Pay and Benefits. Decently challenging, and moderately satisfying work.

Cons

Seniority based retention/pay system. Can't fire bad people, Takes too long to hire good people. Upward mobility is limited. Matrix organization makes accountability, management, and leadership positions unclear (difficult to get answers)... and adds unnecessary onion layers to moderately upper management.

Pros

Won’t fire anyone, know how much you’re going to make.

Cons

Bad raises. Job growth is very uncommon. Management is incompetent from top to bottom. Not enough people and too much work. Nepotism is rampant in this organization. Unqualified people are promoted. Career bad apples are left without being fired or disciplined. First level managers are useless. They at too much red tape to do the most basic things. Upper levels are arrogant and hard headed.hiring has been frozen for a year yet somehow the ‘bud club’ is promoting people constantly who are in their ‘inner circle’. Hiring actions are super sketchy, names are dropped for specific people to be hired etc. It’s crazy
