Pros

If you are an entry-level employee, this would be a good place to begin your career. While there is constant upheaval in terms of staffing due to downsizing, the severance package is very good for those long-term employees who have been let go.

Cons

From my perspective, the department I work in is very poorly managed. The company's goals are all number-driven so decisions are made to the benefit short term goals of the specific department rather than toward the long term viability of the company. There is no support which makes it difficult to complete your job tasks and while training used to be very good, that is no longer true. Every year the primary goal appears to be to cut costs. There is constant downsizing and then hiring of inexperienced employees as the new employees cost less. The workplace is chaotic and getting the equipment necessary to do the job is next to impossible. No local manager appears to have the authority to make any decision.

Pros

The senior management team is relatively young but very bright and aggressive. They have a philosophy of taking no prisoners - live up to my expectations, unreasonable or not, or be fired. Liberty is full of good-hearted people. Many unhappy employees stay with the company because of their relationships with coworkers. Pay is satisfactory; you won't get rich unless you are in senior management. Benefits are satisfactory. For a long time, the company seemed to be a stable and secure employer; then they laid me off after 20 years.

Cons

Due to the highly competitive nature of the industry, change is constant. Expect a major reorganization or acquisition every few years. The company has continually shifted costs of benefits (such as health insurance) to employees. There is a social class structure; managers often look down on staff, and professional workers often look down on admin staff. The recent layoffs appear to be disproportionately eliminating older, more experienced employees.

Pros

Liberty is a large stable company that thinks long term not just short term. Will never make a lot of money, but will always be paid adequately and make a decent living. Managers for the most part try to help develop employees if they want to.

Cons

Too much gossip and office politics. Some managers only think of short term solutions, not what is best for the long term. Too many employees do too much complaining and not enough work. There are also a lot of people who have been there a long time and have a hard time changing with the times. A lot of people do not want to learn or grow, they just want things handed to them, or get paid lots of money for not doing any work.
