Formal, stuffy, inflexible and no comradery. Outdated policies. Old fashioned

Business Outlook

Pros

The company is financially stable

Cons

Strict, outdated dress code policy; ties are required for men, no jeans allowed, no sandals, pants require a crease, business formal wear. Work hours are 8-5 (no flexibility). There is no room for growth, since the majority of the staff have been working there for 25+ years. They don't promote from within, even if someone leaves or retires. It used to be a great company to work for, but not anymore.
