Pros

only two good things about this company = good salary, pension

Cons

stressful environment, work load too much, company does NOT care about their people, no stability (they'll cut an entire department of people and give them a week's notice), awful shifts, no work life balance, basically wear ball and chain while at your desk, if you accept a job here you may as well set up an appointment to get on anxiety medicine and kiss your home life good bye

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
