Pros

Decent benefits, good core values

Cons

They do not promote within, but would rather bring in "new hires". This does not allow growth of current employees and then they start looking elsewhere. They will bring in new hires and pay them more money instead of developing current employees

Pros

Worked with some really smart people, Mature organization - Systems and processes are well established, Immigrant friendly, Good work-life balance depending on the role / manager, Good reputation, Average pay for the location

Cons

1. Hard to grow professionally - It's hard to move-up. You plateau after a certain point. Lot of leaders linger around in the same pay grade for ever since they cannot grow. You will be competing with someone for a job who has 15 years more experience than you. For people with high aspirations, this acts as a roadblock. Moreover, the company hasn't been growing off for a while which makes the situation really bad when it comes to opportunities. Unless, you have a strong network, you cannot grow. 2. Location - Columbus, IN might not be for everyone 3. Cyclical market - Hire and fire once every 3 years 4. No risk taking ability - It's a very conservative environment. Employees aren't encouraged to think out of the box. They want you to follow the process.

Pros

Good pay, especially for the amount of effort required

Cons

Work is boring and unnecessary, which makes it hard to want to go to work. That's why everyone in my department got in at 9am and left by 4pm.
