Not what it used to be

Pros

Generous PTO and they still offer a pension.

Cons

New senior leadership has had a negative impact on employee morale. Layoffs/cutting jobs, cutting bonuses, forcing return to the office, spending money on the wrong things, and prioritizing contractors over employees are just some of the recent decisions by management. It's not the same company it used to be.

Grumpy old men, management doesn’t know what they’re doing half the time, usually benefits the lineman though
