Pros

Okay benefits and decent pay.

Cons

A lot of ineffectual middle management. Annual review process is a joke - a lot of backstabbing to try to get a better review by putting other people down. Each group has to have at least one person that requires improvement and doesn't get an annual salary increase each year. In most cases you don't know who you can trust. People with ability are seen as easily replaceable / expendable - especially non-exempt employees. Silly/unintuitive processes and systems that don't work well or at all. Most management has no clue how things work or little to no real world technical ability. Many managers are egotistical know-it-alls who really don't understand the work needed to be done. Details are lost on management.

Pros

Buildings and grounds are well-kept, promoting a healthy work environment. On-site fitness center. EAP provider is exceptional.

Cons

Lack of development/continued growth plan for individual contributors. Imbalance of compensation benefits, across departments and states. Although brought up repeatedly when management has asked, "give an area you feel is in need of improvement," it was never addressed. The compensation package is below norm based on industry data.
