Pros

Competitive salaries, great benefits and perks, early release Fridays, time off around holidays, on-site fitness and medical facilities.

Cons

Micro-managed. Little to no upward mobility. Very competitive across business groups which leads to zero collaboration. Don't dare have an opinion or new way of looking at something. It's all based on looking better versus the prior year so the Street thinks all is good and the investors get their dividend. Annual layoffs occur when the company is not reaching financial goals which leads to poor morale and culture.

Weekly pay, 2 of the supervisors are sweet.

Everything else, not as friendly as you they put on, Not as diverse as you think it is. Mirco-bullying and racism but they won't admit it and will try to cover it up
