Pros

Electricity discount for employees, health benefits OK - otherwise avoid this snake pit. Your happiest day will be the day you accept a job offer with another company.

Cons

Toxic corporate culture! I have never seen so much emphasis on back-stabbing, lying and credit-grabbing in my life. Some managers encourage this behavior as well - unbelievable! You must watch your back here at all times or risk being thrown under the bus to further someone else's career - absolutely exhausting. Salaries not keeping pace with cost of living in SoCal. Old fashioned - never trust your employees enough to let them work remotely - management philosophy. Only Covid was able to force a temporary change in this. You will be back in the office coughing on each other at the earliest opportunity. Otherwise, it will look as though managers have no one to manage. Constant reorgs and revolving layoffs - this is how they "refresh" the workforce. It is typical to see groups of older, more highly paid workers laid off and replaced with younger, lower-wage workers in exactly the same job classification a couple of months later. If you work here, you'd better have this factored into your long term plans and have an exit strategy in place.

Pros

Good people who really want to do the right things for customers.

Cons

Management has no idea on how to keep talents. Can't make decisions and can't create an environment that foster collaboration and good culture. Management only favorite certain personality, no diversity.

Pros

Good salary, good benefits, can be an 8 to 5 job, or less if participate in the many activities organized by employees

Cons

Do you want to go to work, do little and never make a decision or take the lead? Do you like to collaborate with no results or accountability? Like to spend as much time as possible doing non job related activities? This might sound very attractive for some, and would be rewarded. It also means living in mediocrity without making this country even a better one
