Pros

Steady paycheck. Unlike many other industries, layoffs are few and far between.

Cons

The culture has turned drastically from a place you could work hard and be rewarded to one where only the 'chosen' few seem to advance regardless of capabilities. Some VERY unqualified management personnel in place in too many key positions because...someone 'liked' them.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
