Pros

Job security. Up training into new roles. Opportunities to learn.

Cons

Work Life balance is not something they actively work towards, we work long hours and Saturdays. They will move you across teams or change your supervisor at a moments notice. Building rapport with a supervisor is impossible when they change them every year. The turnover rate is high, they don’t hire enough people so we are constantly behind and have to work overtime relentlessly. The pay is below average for seasoned employees. Good luck trying to take your earned paid time off because they won’t approve it and the system for submitting PTO works against you when you have to know a year in advance when you want to take a vacation and they still likely won’t approve it.

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
