      A company with good coworkers, fair pay and benefits, but easy to get looked over by management.

      Pros

      There are a lot of knowledge and friendly individuals to work with on a daily basis. You get to work with some interesting technologies if given the chance. The pay and benefits are fair and competitive for the marketplace.

      Cons

      If you get pigeonholed into a particular role, it is hard to be able to convince anyone to let you move beyond that role and try new things. You have to figure out a way in such a situation to make your position satisfying or boredom will set in quickly. It is hard to get positive feedback and/or regular guidance on goal setting and achievements.

      Good pay, uncertain future.

      Pros

      Well-paying IT job for the area. Benefits are ok. While it lasted, they had a good work/home balance by offering part-time positions in IT. But those went away in 2004. Good cafeteria on-site, in most complexes. Pretty good AAA baseball (Rochester Redwings) in area formerly occupied by parking lots. Offices range from nice to retro-70s, but are well-equipped. Desktop computers were always decent. Good recognition for project success. They gave me a digital camera once for celebrating a good project. Co-workers were great. Work was meaningful, and supervisors mostly stayed off your back. Comp-time provided lots of flexibility. Good travel opportunities.

      Cons

      Uncertain future - frequent downsizing. Elimination of part-time positions in the entire worldwide information systems in 2004. That layoff took 47 percent! I trained 6 new hires to do my job, so that I could transition to something else. Each time, I got the feeling that this person was just moving through, and were being groomed for management. Sure enough, several of them ended up being the boss of the project within a year. Not that I wanted to be the boss - but I kind of felt used. Aside from those folks, there were rarely any new hires. And the ones that stayed, got downsized anyway.

      Isn't Kodak a US based company?

      Pros

      Kodak HAD a great reputation as a good strong "American" company, with pride and loyalty promoting good American design and manufacturing quality processes and procedures. They give you a very enlightening and inspiring book about the founder, George Eastman (but I think it may not have been distributed to upper management).

      Cons

      Level of outsourcing is disgraceful. Managers refuse to acknowledge all of the outsourcing stories that have gone bad and just continue to stick our fingers into the fan. High-level management has no long term regard for preservation. Communication ("your voice heard") is non-existent. Non-management employees have no voice period.
