      Pros

      feels like a family and they in general take good care of you. Unfortunately the cons outweigh the pros.

      Cons

      The tenure of most of the company is 30+ years. They underpay new employees and don't fire the ones who are problems. While I respect loyalty, it's detrimental to the overall morale. There are leaders who micromanage and drive entire divisions into the ground and nothing is ever done or addressed. It's a shame. They have SO much to offer.

      Pros

      In my time with the Company, I have had a few different jobs in my department. I have had the opportunity to work on some amazing, intense projects, learn new things, work with people in other departments, and have exposure to executive management.

      Cons

      While "working from home" is not an option, I understand why we don't do that. My friends who work from home do not have the close, trusting relationships with peers that I do here. Whether it's popping into someone's office, having an impromptu hallway meeting, or a full brainstorming session on the cafe patio, my coworkers and I trust each other, rely on each other and back each other up to meet the goals of our department and the company. So is that really a con?
