Pros

The benefits are great, and the work pace is VERY relaxed. Clinic on campus as well as a small gym.

Cons

When working at a company that values seniority and family connections, it is difficult to be intelligent or ambitious. So many employees have the same last name, it is embarrassing to the hiring process in my opinion.

Pros

Great benefits, various retirement plans and a pension. People are nice and most really care about the core of what we do.

Cons

You are treated like a job title. People are surprised when you know more than what your job title says and they reward you with more work under the same job title. Tons of meetings with very little accomplishment. There is a struggle between those who have been here for a very long time and have pay higher than they would get anywhere else, versus the younger generations just trying to get a career going and waiting for movement and opportunity to happen. No one is held accountable for their work or lack thereof. People who really should be let go are allowed to sit and retire. The retiree pool is getting bigger than the current employee pool but there are some that never should have been able to retire. You will spend 10+ years in a job before you get a chance to move up and if you don't have a college degree forget it. Some departments bully you for taking any time off.

Pros

Can make good money if you have no morals, values, and like to backstab fellow workers.

Cons

This company covers its behavior in talking one thing and doing another. Lots of backstabbers, racists, and not one person lives by company values. What a joke!
