Pros

Competitive salary, training, good benefits

Cons

Favoritism culture by upper management in promotions is wide spread; people with least experience are selected for managing other people. Annual assessments are performed confidential; management does not tell you the reason behind their performance assessment due to a confidentiality clause to protect managers; this leaves the door open for retaliation and unfair reviews by managers. Employee wellness has little weight for managers; I was told by a manager that a manager should just support his supers and not to worry about his employees because either employees are good and know how to do their jobs and if they are not, then... Employee retention is not a concern for the company; they are pushing experienced employees out the door and are replacing them with inexperienced ones with lower pay. Recruitment is done by people who are not expert in the field for specific position
