Pros
Decent salaries. Steady employer with no layoffs. Education opportunities exist. Current home grown CEO is a regular guy, easy to relate to. 401k and pension
Cons
Work to life balance is preached but words don’t match expectations from supervisors. Internal promotion/hiring practices can be shady. Jobs are posted for show only in many cases when a candidate is already chosen. Losing the family atmosphere as many corporate practices being implemented by outsiders. Performance assessment process has been changed repeatedly over the past several years and it has eroded supervisors’ ability to reward good work. Only have 3 narrow ratings on 3 different categories which results in Top performers getting raises in the same small range as low or mediocre performers as upper management dictates arbitrary distribution of a pre-set allotment of funds.
