Pros

Great first job if you have little or no experience and have no clue what you are doing. They will train you to function they way they want. They offer decent move plans for employees who are relocated. The 401K plan was a match up to $1200. If you ever needed insurance they would be right there with a quote.

Cons

Very conservative company and they pay you that way - very conservatively... Had I known what I know now I would have left this employer much earlier in my career. You have to be ready to reapply for your job in order to stay in your position. They current job you hold means nothing if they choose to relocate that service to another office or state. Years of service really means nothing to them. The tried to reorganize and pay for high performers but this resulted in everyone still getting paid the same raises every year.

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
