Pros

Less likely to be laid off

Cons

Non stop overtime for decades. Unable to use earned PTO, even for medical appointments, without penalty unless scheduled 6 months in advance. Less qualified, less tenured employees receive promotions while highly educated, tenured, hard working employees do not, Extreme favoritism. ADA or FMLA is used against employees. Promotions are withheld. Opportunities blocked. Retaliation is used as a form of control. Blacklists exist. Toxic work environment. Competitors pay more with more benefits.

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
