Pros

Pay for college tuition and benefits begin the first day of world

Cons

People think they are better than others because they have been there longer. So many rude workers and everyone looks out in their own best interest. There is no team work or camaraderie its beasically every man for themselves.

While job opportunities are limited, it is a company that likes to retain talent and offers very generous benefits.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Flexible work schedules - Competitive salary - Generous benefit package (401k, investments, vacation, etc.) - Emphasis on talent retention - Tuition reimbursement - Job stability - You'll meet a lot of people that have been with the company 20+ years

Cons

- Limited job opportunities at the moment - Some long time employees feel entitled to certain freedoms and get a way with a lot without contributing as much as they should - Employees may feel left in the dark at times about the direction the company is moving - Not many young people get the opportunity to move up quickly; a lot of employees who start right out of college get locked into Customer Service for 6-8 years before being able to pursue more business oriented positions within the company
