Pros

Excellent benefits (401K, paid holidays, decent compensation, bonuses, vacation, sick pay, floating holidays, depending on position - flexible work schedule)

Cons

They have this program called "Emerging Leaders" and some participants of the program are pretty good; however, they also have the good ole boys good ole girls network who should be called "Emerging Leeches". These are the people who continuously get promoted until they eventually hit a level of incompetence. These are the energy vampires. If you ever have to work for or with one of these insecure Emerging Leeches, they will basically try to force you to go through a hazing initiation and get branded with a CP logo and conform you to join their "network" of opportunity. Dare not resist or question their way of doing things, and you better not bring up the fact that their direction is not aligned with Leadership's goals and strategies. Nope, if you show any sign of not conforming to the "let's look busy" mentality, then you will be targeted and they will make your life a living hell until you leave the company. There are too many people trying to keep their and not enough people who just want to do their job!

Pros

The company offers decent pay, good 401k matching, and a nice bonus structure, The corporate office is nice, and the vast majority of rank-and-file employees there are friendly folks who are passionate about the work they do. Day-to-day work is a steady pace while allowing breathing room to dash out of the office for a quick lunch or errand.

Cons

The acquisition by private equity has turned the company on its head. Management seems to constantly be threatening more cuts at all times- a mentality shared by the top that seems to trickle down to frontline managers. There is a squeeze for work, and people will pass the blame on any blunders, no matter how small, to save themselves. Additionally, any talk of strong job trajectory or upward growth has shown little proof; the only way to get properly moved around is to know the right folks higher up in the hierarchy. The best recommendation is to wait until the company is sold during the next acquisition and reevaluate from there.
