Pros

Great benefits available, insurance covers a lot, and we get some good discounts (not on insurance). We have a credit union that has great auto rates.

Cons

They're going through IT changes right now so management is being pulled in all sorts of directions. Negatively impacting employees. We don't get paid a fair amount for what's expected, and they keep adding more and more to our job descriptions. They used to be good about working from home, but now it's harder to get an okay, even if you have a good excuse. If you aren't seen then you must not be working - even if you're in the office working from the break room or elsewhere.

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
