Pros

They pay well and they have good benefits

Cons

Lack of consistency in terms of policies, Employees are consistently permitted to bypass their direct manager any time they are dissatisfied with an outcome. There is zero disciplinary action, there are employees who have several “final” write ups but management has to fight to terminate terrible team members and are always denied, even though where I am is an at will employment state. Insubordination, no call no show, didn’t matter. HR makes it impossible to clear out the bad apples.
