Pros

Before 2002, it was an awsome place to work. Recognition for achievements and hard work were the norm, as well as promotions for persons who were bettering themselves professionally. That has all changed. If I were accepting a position at this company currently, I would take advantage of every benefit (i.e. tuition reimbursement, employer-sponsored professional courses and seminars), with an action plan of seeking new employment elsewhere within the next 3 to 5 years. It's OK for a short stay, but I would not look for longevity in any employment role there. Best Wishes !!

Cons

Ongoing downsizing and layoffs, low morale of employees, ongoing plans to sell portions of the business and to outsource certain work functions.
