Pros

Decent people. I've worked with several departments and have only run into a few bad apples. The lower-level managers tend to be better.

Cons

The benefits have gone from ok to terrible. We have to pay for our plans out of our own pockets and not every plan is available to the employees. The copays keep going up, to the point where it's difficult to be able to afford going to the doctor. Upper management is also disconnected from the lower ranks. Everyone lives in fear of a layoff and no one plans for the future. Ten years ago, this was a good company to work for, with upper management that took the time to get to know their people. Now, it's a travesty of rotating management that feels the best way to profitability is to squeeze their employees to the point where they hate their company.

Pros

The company culture, people, and work environment are great. The pay and benefits are above average except they are skimpy with PTO.

Cons

The workload is insane. (I work in IT.) Projects are promised based on what will make the managers look good, not on what is realistic. We never have time to do anything right, so we frequently have to make time to do it over. And that time comes out of our personal lives, those of us who have managed to hang on to one at all. We knew going in it wasn't a 40 hour week, but it has gone from the occasional 45-50 hour week to 10 x 6 or 8 x 7 as the norm, and we are on salary. We get resources too late in the project to train them to be much good, and training them takes time away from the time we can spend doing everything because we have no time to train!
