Pros
Job is stable and there is a decent amount of growth available through tuition and certification reimbursement. Work is reasonable most of the time. 5 weeks of PTO a year. good retirement system. mileage reimbursement.
Cons
Company expects loyalty but will not provide it. Worked through the entirety of the Covid-19 pandemic and got a 0% raise. asked other departments and coworkers and it was essentially the same. Everyone worked hard and stuck through it for nothing. Moving up the ladder is tedious and unlikely. there are a lot of people in kahoots with each other and if you're not part of the inner circle it will be difficult to go up. Would recommend getting a degree or certification and finding better employment elsewhere. Upper management will start multiple poorly planned projects and expect the workers to adjust to their mistakes. During this time the work is beyond unreasonable and will require extra hours and stress.
