Pros

None really, sorry. Unless your and executive with a contract that will pay you for years after they lay you off.

Cons

Trust is their last name, but it is the last thing you will get as an employee and the last thing you should do as an employee. So the facts, in the last year people who have spent a career of 20 plus years building the company have been let go. Then they start out-sourcing everything from leasing, architecture, and recently even management. Only the Executives with their golden parachutes are the priority at this company, read the SEC documents and if interviewing ask how many people have been laid off / let go in the last few years due to a new strategy! Soon all that will be left are a few executives with sweet compensation packages and third party service providers. Look at the quarterly reports, after dropping dividend they are still paying out more than they take in, not a winning formula! No growth in stock, stuck with perdominatly older office space that is struggling and can't compete agains all the new buildings, and selling off of divisions. Yeah ask questions and tread lightly.

Pros

None really. Got paid on time and had a fair amount of vacation Very old boy like.

Cons

The last more than ten people let go have been over 50. Ceo is unapproachable. HR should be one director not two. Benefits good but health insurance ridiculously expensive. Stuffy atmosphere unlike when the former ceo was their. People scared about more layoffs.
