Pros

Paid overtime, benefits, yearly raises, pension

Cons

Reduced opportunities for advancement - most jobs moving to hubs in AZ, GA, TX. Focus is on numbers, not quality work. Unmanageable work load. Although you have paid vacation, you are barely able to take it due to corporate scheduling requirements. If you can take a day off, it's almost impossible to catch up on work when you get back. Due to handling claims for west coast, we must work late hours. The morale in this office is just sad and defeated now. 4 years ago, this was a great place to work.

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
