Pros

It's a place where you can go to make money for a fraction of your soul.

Cons

Low, low, low, low morale for the working man. Especially for testmen...it seems like everyone in management has it out for testmen and would like nothing more than to see us fail in order to vindicate their feelings of unadulterated hatred for us. Plus the IBEW local here sucks for testmen (great for linemen!) so you get the mushroom stamp from both ends. I.T. support blows. Can't get tools. Upper management are sustained by the tears of the old guard who tell tales of what it was like when this company was the best.

Pros

Great pay, benefits and bonuses.

Cons

The company has to pay above the average to attract new employees. Once here, employees learn quickly that the credibility of upper management and the company as a whole has hit an all time low. Management uses politically correct terms like operational excellence, cost refinement and right sizing, but it all means unfair performance comparisons by several management layers who don't even know your work, layoffs are ongoing, outsourcing is the new norm, quality degradation and minimal support for core businesses is now common. Upward mobility is rare if not impossible and raises are minimal depending on the department budget for a given year.
