Pros

-Training is thorough, depending on who the trainer is -Beautiful Workplace -Decent Recognition for hard work -The performance-based incentive program is decent

Cons

-Many in "leadership" positions are not qualified to be "leaders". They are data crunchers. - Internal communications are horrible - They overhire, and then find reasons to let the excess employees go - HR takes actions that do not align with what their SOPs say -Many in leadership roles are unsupportive and even rude at times -Very difficult to advance in your career unless you are friends with someone in a position to recommend you for a promotion -As an employee, you are VERY micromanaged
