Pros

pay is ok, good coworkers. company trying to become employee friendly. added wii and ping pong and softball

Cons

sr mgmt keeps cutting expenses for employees but spends lavishly on themselves. has boondoggle yearly meeting, costs $2m, but is a waste. chairman and sr mgmt use company plane for leisure. schedule annual trip to london in july to watch wimbeldon finals. jet off to greece for a night, no business purpose. some members of sr mgmt are talking heads, not thoughts or leadership. promotions very rare. after putting in 12-13 hour days and weekends, only comment from sr mgmt was to put in a bigger effort. have massive layoffs then spend 500k on luxury box at giants stadium

Great place to work in tandem with other professionals in your trade, always had a feeling of "family" working alongside my peers. We come together when times are tough, this is very rewarding,

Cons

The current economic and geopolitical spectrum have been proving a challenge to this industry as a whole, thankfully we are a resilient outfit with the best people at the helm.

Pros

It is a decent place to work with a steady environment and meaningful day-to-day responsibilities. Overall, it's not a bad company to be a part of if you are looking for stability and purpose in your tasks.

Cons

The internal culture is highly political, and professional advancement often depends more on favoritism than merit. You frequently have to play corporate games and kiss up to management just to get ahead or be noticed.
