Business outlook
Pros
Great brand. Above average compensation and retirement benefits. Large company with room to move around. Theme of "responsibility" really permeates throughout the organization. Good work-life balance. Many training opportunities. Mutual holding structure reduces unnecessary pressure on short-term results.
Cons
Tons of bureaucracy and inefficiency, as well as significant resistance to change. Very poor health insurance plan. Can be a struggle to get "real" work done - seems like everyone is always very busy but projects move forward very slowly. Communication between offices and levels of the organization needs to improve.
