Pros

Knowledgable and professional environment. Generally friendly people.

Cons

Like many other companies of its industry, lots of old school values and thinking here. Hard for early and even mid career staff to get noticed. Many in Senior Leadership or Middle Management hold high performers back from promotions or opportunities on other teams because they want to keep them on current teams. Leaders make decisions themselves without empowering team members - treating teams as disposable executers rather than contributing members.

Pros

Holidays off, okay pay, cross train in other areas that are needed

Cons

Managers, doesn’t keep advancement promises, always mentioning room for growth but when the opportunity presents itself they have an excuse for why right now is not a good time to move. Adds training for other departments that are short staffed but don’t compensate for all the different departments calls you are taking. Trying to take PTO is a pain, there are plenty employees so there should be no issues with taking time off
