Pros

Honestly, you'd think working for one a conglomerate you despise would come with some perks i.e (Verizon), but that is far from true. You're working for a horrible company, and you will hate your life as well.

Cons

Management, co-workers, pay, benefits, everything is pretty poor and only getting worse.

Pros

Pay and benefits are great. The company truly dedicated to maintaining and improving its culture, and it goes beyond talk. I have witnessed firsthand from VPs on down a culture committed to safety, one another, and its customers. Flexible schedules and vacation/time off adds up quickly. There are a lot of very experienced employees and the Company is working hard to retain knowledge from these employees before they retire. The opportunities abound for young employees that are willing to work hard and listen.

Cons

Upward mobility sometimes requires lateral moves to find a department that has room to grow, so you can't just be content doing what you do and staying put.

Pros

Big company, lots of lateral positions to move around in, comparable pay

Cons

For profit so can be cheap with its employees. Policies not flexible for taking kids to doctors. At times other departments act as separate companies and information is hard to get
