Pros

People are nice and many in the same boat to lean on. Middle level management empathetic to the hierarchical culture and try to off set with being flexible. Good benefits

Cons

Horrible training and on-boarding, no one really engages you with the company and for the first 6 months you're floundering. Very did organized and hierarchical

Nice people, difficult culture

Pros

The coworkers are genuinely nice people who care about the communities in which they work. The salaries are good, and benefits are good.

Cons

While individuals can be great leaders, overall the US branch of this company suffers from a lack of long-term planning and leadership. Change is difficult and slow, and the company culture of "niceness" makes it hard to speak up about problems or act quickly on opportunities and threats. The workload can be quite high. While there are pockets of ingenuity, there is a disconnect between the real things the company needs to work on and the priorities communicated to employees.
