Pros

When I stared, the pay was much higher than average and benefits were top notch. Lots of support from supervisors, and a modicum of protection from a union.

Cons

However, in the four years I've been employed here, we've gone through two restructurings, laid off thousands in staff and have now relocated all operational and support jobs out-of-state, at half the Denver-based salary with no relocation package provided. The bureaucratic processes involved in shipment and division of duties in departments leave customers and staff frustrated, and the presence of a union created tension between departments. What was once a dream job has become dead-end and depressing, with apathy, laziness and backstabbing running rampant among employees and staff, and very little regard for customer need or company bottom line.

Pros

Leadership is very open with it's communications to employees about where the business is and how it impacts the employees, good and bad.

Cons

At the time there were global reductions in the workforce. What upside there was in that was the communications to employees.
