Pros

The pay is good especially for longer term employees. Cash profit sharing is a very nice benefit. New senior management that's been brought in over the last several years is completely changing this company - decreasing costs and benefits and increasing profitably (presumably).

Cons

New senior management that's been brought in over the last several years is completely changing this company - slashing jobs. Replacing SCJ US jobs with contract positions in India and elsewhere. They see very little value in the skills and experience of the existing workforce. The prior senior and middle managers have no ability or power to drive existing projects. Their mandate is to enforce the restructuring driven from above. Long term employees have been abandoned and driven from the company. No career advancement opportunities for younger, less costly, employees. Little future as an employee.

Pros

You will not be bothered by people talking to you, benefits seem okay.

Cons

Don’t expect to be trained on anything. Management will expect you to figure things out on your own, request your own accesses and figure out what you need without any guidance. They’ll send people to you for questions on how to do stuff within your first couple days, not having taught you how to do those things.
