Pros

The benefits (health/vacation) are up to par with other companies of similar standing.

Cons

Some areas of the company seem progressive but I work in the IT area and an old-school mentality still exists with many of the managers. Information is shared if it affects your position and then only "what you need to know". Recently, a new director of IT has been brought on board, it remains to be seen if the IT department will change for the better.

Pros

People who work there are normal, hardworking, decent folks. The engineers and mid level managers have a good sense of camaraderie. We tend to be "of a type" with lots in common, in hobbies, community involvement, and other interests inside and outside work. There are many pockets of excellence that are or should be recognized industry wide. The company is, occasionally, willing to take some risks. Payscale and most of the benefit package is quite good for people with seniority, less so for more recent hires.

Cons

Very poor planning and accountability at upper levels of management. Lack of understanding of support requirements, lack of engagement in decisions up front. Shoot the messenger mentality at upper levels accompanied by a victim mentality at lower levels causes a vicious feedback loop. Conflict between union and non-union management is unnecessary and short-sighted on both sides, but I imagine that's the same in most of those relationships.
