Pros

Very fair compensation, medical, dental, 401k benefits. Probably leads most of the industry

Cons

Constant organizational and leadership changes in the last few years have caused significant decline in morale. Focus is on cost reduction at any cost to please the shareholder

Pros

I have a great boss, which makes my job wonderful and overall the company is very concerned about employee safety. My boss is supportive when it comes to training and work/life balance. In past years, it's been great to work here--pay is good and I worked with an incredible group of very talented, smart and fun people.

Cons

The housing crash has made this company slash jobs--which was understandable for a while. But it's been going on now for nearly 7 years! Even though the economy is now improving and profits are up, they are still looking for ways to cut, cut cut---even when the cuts don't make sense. Recent changes are really impacting customers, which will definitely hurt the company in the long run. Both customers and employees are now taking a back seat to stockholders and the bottom line. I no longer trust that the leaders of this company. Their decisions seemed very short-sighted.

Pros

Higher salaries than average market rate. Comfortable office environment at headquarters building with good parking access. Exempt staff does considerably better on all levels than non-exempt staff. Decent vacation and time off policies. Encourages volunteering and charitable giving.

Cons

A once classy company with a lot of respect for employees is now run by the believed wishes of the shareholders. Employees, particularly those with longer service, are not valued. Benefits are just fair, after once leading the industry in excellent benefits. Too many cuts have been made where the workers are laid off and the abundance of retained management have created too many chiefs and a difficult circumstance for the workers who are left.
