Pros

Pension, accrual system for vacation, decent priced medical plans (including vision, dental), Job security, career advancement opportunities, yearly raise/bonus (per company success). Focus on Work-life balance (typically 38.75 hours per week)

Cons

Continually restructuring the company. Management is often unqualified for the areas they are placed. Large focus on customer and not the employee which is apparent in the many benefits that are being taken away or changed to be harder to use. No paid sick leave. You have to use a week of vacation before being able to use long-term medical leave (as approved by CIGNA). Employees are not put into positions based on their skills and expertise. Roles are evaluated on a set of criteria that may or may not match the job responsibilities you have been given.

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
