Pros

Overtime is plentiful, paid at time & a half!!!! Great benefits (401k, health vision and dental insurance, credit union, relocation assistance, & more) Casual dress code. Good reputation. The rules, procedures & processes are clear. Huge company. If you're money driven - you will love it here.

Cons

Drastic changes in the last few years - hopefully some of this will be reeled back soon because long time employees are leaving. It's very "corporate" with new Crazy Procedures & Processes: you bid for time off a year in advance (only 1 in 5 employees will be off for days around the holidays), attendance policy (you're assessed points for last minute absences like being sick, points for being late, etc. Too many points & you're counseled, written up, then fired). Pay structure has changed - it's harder than in years past to increase your annual base salary - your raise is mostly a lump payment with only a tiny bit, like 1% added to your annual salary). Stressful Work Environment; but if you can handle it - you can make A LOT of money in overtime - like 20k a year. But sometimes they limit overtime, so you can't just depend on it.

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
