Pros

Good pay and benefits.

Cons

Racism thrives. There are literally hundreds of complaints settled out of court for racial discrimination against Black & Hispanic employees. If you're White, you will be fine. There are lots of you there being promoted. If you're a minority, forget about promotions and get a good race discrimination attorney.

Pros

Great program! Participants get exposure and support in terms of working for, or, networking with potential employers. From this "spring board", non-supported employment becomes easier and achievable.

Cons

Sometimes, personalities prevail over program.

Pros

Rewarding social mission work to help all individuals 50 - plus. Very diverse working business units that come together on certain issues as a matrix team. Work itself is rewarding given the right personal fit based on an individuals interest area.

Cons

Constant reorganization and leadership changes at all levels. In many cases, new leaders are not the best fit, but know how to play office politics with the senior leaders. Last year we went through a voluntary separation offer, so even more changes. Movement for employees below director level is very difficult and ability is not a major factor for advancement. Little or no movement or chance to grow.
