Pros

Good place to have a career. Can work here a long time and do many different roles. Lots of opportunities to move up if that’s what you want.

Cons

After getting a clearance and a masters degree (which is worth $$$), they didn't care to grant me a promotion or a significant pay raise. Everyone’s treated the same here. Benefits are good but they keep getting worse as time goes on, and more expensive. It’s true what they say, you have to job hop to really get a pay bump.

Pros

9/80 and every 2nd Friday off, generous vacation time.

Cons

The company is 100+ years old and functions almost entirely on inertia. Senior Management is totally disconnected from the day to day, and it shows in the content of their "community" video meetings. They talk about diversity but have no interest in applying it. Most of the time they totally ignore the needs of their disabled employees.
