Pros

Willing to give you more responsibility if you work hard. Support advanced education if you show potential. Some good quality co-workers Good 401K and benefits.

Cons

Not very innovative, most new developments very slow or acquired through acquisition. Progress is not very quick. Some managers don’t fight for their department personnel. Poor managers not identified. State they are trying to incorporate green projects, but were unwilling to add recycling bins to plant because it wasn’t “cost effective”

Pros

Acceptable 401K matching with immediate vesting as well as an age based deferred compensation program that has a 3 year vesting period. Standard benefits and pay consistent with industry. Acceptable safety practices defined and adhered to throughout organization.

Cons

Moderately high turnover (at least my division). Inconsistent treatment of employees (flex time allowed for some employees but not others in same work category, some employees told to use personal car or phone for work activities while others get in trouble for same type of work activity, allowing some employees the options to apply and move internally while others are not allowed - and are sometimes even forced to moved to a role for which they didn't apply against their desires). Inconsistent reporting of data and legal brushes aside your questions/findings making you seem like you did something wrong when uncovering something fishy.
