Sadly, They Don't Seem To Care About Employees

Pros

Industry experience, hard working people

Cons

They often do not replace people who leave, but instead, continue to spread the work among those who remain. They do not offer the same "perks" to everyone who works there.

Hard work is not appreciated or rewarded.

Pros

Very good benefits packages for you and your family.

Cons

All about who you know in the company. Those that work hard are not appreciated and are forced to go to other companies that pay more and promote. Nepotism and those that are favored are the only people who will get promoted or paid well.
