Pros

The pay is competitive for the area. The health benefit are pretty good. Some departments offer full time work from home. They have an annual employee appreciation celebration every year and give a nice gift.

Cons

Management does not listen to their employees, they are only there for management. Time off is impossible to get. Its all who you know if you want to get promoted. They tell upper management projects can be done faster than the team can do them. They over promise and under deliver. They play the finger pointing game between all other managers not one of them will take accountability. They require you to work overtime and if you ask for time off you have to use your PTO hours for the overtime hours not worked that week and they pay it as straight time. They say they are a pay for performance company but even if you perform at a 4 rating (the highest rating) the raises are always the same so its no use trying to go above and beyond you might as well be a slow performer because you will get the exact same increase.

Pros

Well, quite a few actually, awesome work life balance, nice people mostly. Managers are looked up to as a better class of citizen ( I thought it was wrong but if you are a manger it must be nice). Very slow pace of work (again both a pro and a con). I would like to come back when I'm closer to retirement.. Awesome company to retire from.

Cons

Low pay, very hierarchical structure, if you want to take initiative you need 20 approvals... Gets boring for a do er.. Some people who have been around for a very long time and are thus out of ideas

Pros

If you come to work every day showing that you are willing to learn and improve you can move up quickly within the company. Competitive pay for the type of job. Excellent benefits package. Decent work life balance for the type of position. The company is always looking to improve in this area which is nice. The management shows that they value the opinion of all associates.

Cons

It can be stressful. You have to watch who you share things with.
