Pros
-The people. Your coworkers become family and are incredibly talented. -Stability. The company has been around for 50 years and continues to dominate. -Exposure. You can gain a lot of knowledge about a lot of areas of the business if you proactively pursue learning.
Cons
- Favoritism. If management (c-suite) likes you, you propel quickly, if they don't, you will hit your ceiling equally as fast. Has very little to do with skill. - Zero Flexibility. Expect you to be available at all times and offer no options for working from home. - Compensation. Standard yearly raises for performance are abysmal. Employees resort to counter offer situations to get a respectable bump in pay which results in the company questioning loyalty. - Inefficient. Meeting heavy culture with multiple presentations which doesn't allow time to execute the plans constantly being discussed.
