Pros

good compensation, a very collaborative culture, decentralized decision making empowers associates, and high priority is placed on development

Cons

decision making can be very slow, it's a fragmented organization, it does not leverage global and multi-segment scale to its advantage, and there is a lack of consistent systems and processes

Pros

good benefits and vacation and one of the few companies that truly have a pension

Cons

draconian viewpoint in regards to overtime, used to be about being a family but is no longer so. seems like management are willing to do anything for a pay raise. site manager only wants to be in a echo chamber and will yell at other people for not agreeing with his view point on things.
