Pros
-Professional and friendly atmosphere, a feeling of pride going to work every morning. -Employee Benefits, even in today's world it's quite generous. -Professional development through education is available. -"Fortune 500" company
Cons
-Competitors offer better benefits including education reimbursement, adoption benefits, domestic partner benefits. -LBGT community is not a protected class of worker. -Opportunities for associates.... for those with 10+ yrs experience only. No fast track for proven talent. -Innovation and ideas are not encouraged. -Over qualified Gen Y employees in underpaying, entry level positions. (ie. MBAs, designations, experiences). What if the 20-something year olds of our generation didn't graduate with buckets of student debt and in an economic depression? Would they put so much weight into a stable paycheck? What happens when Gen Y's concerns aren't adequately addressed? What will they do when the economy turns around? Will they stay and fight the brick walls of management? Or will they be herded to organizations that encourage their young spirit and energy and are truly offered opportunities for those who have earned and deserve it. Gen Y is the future of our economy. They'll be leading the economy for the next 50 years, who and what they bring with them will be up to them. Will Auto-Owners celebrate it's 150th birthday or will it only be a distant memory in 2066?
