      Tough but Fair

      Pros

      The pay is great and the benefits are superb. There is a real sense of teamwork within the individual departments.

      Cons

      The number of vacation days is pretty limited and the fact that vacation days get granted according to seniority makes it tough to take time off around any of the holidays.

      Great Job not a Great Career

      Pros

      The benefits are second to none. Tuition Reimbursement, Profit Sharing, Premiums on Health, Vision, and Dental are paid, Gym Membership assistance, Day Care Assistance, First Time Homebuyer Assistance, Corporate Discounts etc. The job stays in the work place, you do not take it home with you. Paid time off, Holidays off with pay. Initial salary is higher than other places in the market

      Cons

      You cannot be promoted above a low level supervisor. All Mid-Level positions and above are recruited from Ivy League Schools and brought in specifically for management positions. Lateral Movement only and no pay increases for these "promotions" If you do not have children, you work the least desirable shift times and get trumped on first picks of vacation days. Your departmental management team will change frequently and so does the job expectation. If the company wants to "promote" you or move you to a new department, you do not have a say, go to the new position or leave. The computer system they run on was built in the 1980's so it is a DOS system and you must remember hundreds of 4 letter commands. Errors are subjective based on who is grading your work.

      Pros

      Salary, healthcare, cash and deferred profit sharing, work/life balance are all hard to beat! Culture is slowly moving in the right direction.

      Cons

      Robotic, uninspiring work. If you're ambitious and not a management trainee, don't expect much. The ceiling is not glass, it's concrete!
