Pros

Great healthcare benefits and retirement plan with average salary.

Cons

Very political corporate culture where you must know someone to advance within the company. Management is not trustworthy and most are only interested in looking out for themselves.

Pros

Benefits and steady pay. The company has earned a great reputation by doing business the right way. Your peers are generally good people.

Cons

If you don't have a sponsor in the company you won't get far. Tough interviews. Most times management has decided who to hire before the interview.

Pros

Friendly people, at first. However employees seem frustrated. And pretty soon you realize everyone is just looking out for themselves. All employees at staff level seem frustrated about lack of advancement. Employee resource groups, mentoring programs, daycare, gym and cafeteria are nice perks and help you sell your brand and company to new employees. However, these perks soon start to fade away when you start to understand the company's culture. Southern. Conservative. This is a great place for mid-career level managers who want somewhat of a family-life, not someone early in their career or a recent college graduate. Do not come here if you want a real career, want to grow and develop, and eventually hold a leadership position.

Cons

Working hard and doing good work does NOT get you noticed in this company. Here it is all about who you know, who you are related to, who you like look, who you dress like, who you talk and behave like, who knows you and who's neighbor you are. It is all about favoritism. Diversity and minorities glaringly stand out, as do female managers. Work-life balance is a sham once you become a manager. Expect to work long hours if you haven't "done your time" here or achieved 10+ "years of service." How long does it take an employee to "prove" oneself in this Company? Forever! Pay is average, compared to other large companies in Atlanta. Benefits are slightly better, but not worth sacrificing your career for. Managers constantly seem stressed. Promotions happen based on favoritism, not great work. And new managers are not equipped with training nor provided any guidance. Executives are not transparent, so often managers have little idea about direction.
