Pros

They are a very established company.

Cons

Completely out of touch with modern processes, big old boys (and certain special girls) club. As long as you get in good with certain people, you're golden. Personally seen complete idiots and slackers/divas/I'm too good to actually work people thrive there. Not to mention the people who are grandfathered in because they've worked there longer than many have been alive, or the ones who refuse to streamline processes because it would cut into their own usefulness (or potential lack thereof). Super established company, but I think the sucking up involved makes it a complete waste of time, unless you know the right people and they favor you.

Pros

My pros are my manager and team coworkers. Outside of that not really a fan. I do well at what I do.

Cons

Honestly, ever since new management has come for the upper VPs and directors, a lot has shifted for the negative. Feels very micromanaging when we were told we were doing fine at home and there was no reason to have us come back in the office. Now suddenly we’re being forced back to the office. Other departments and I don’t really get along because there’s a bunch of petty people just trying to get others in trouble and all I’m doing is trying to do my job. Where I am at, everyone just talks all day and then complains about how much work they have.
