Pros

401K matching is much more generous than I have seen elsewhere. Educational benefits are pretty unbelievable- go to any school for almost any professionally degree paid 100% with only a two year commitment when you finish up. Lots of professional certifications are also reimbursed 100%. Healthcare benefits are pretty good and company contributes to your HSA.

Cons

No upward mobility whatsoever. Doing a good job will simply get you more work than you can handle as an individual which leads to negative visibility. Lots of old, veteran deadweight counting down their days until retirement. Raises and bonuses used to be generous but due to cost cutting have been sliced significantly. Depending on the manager, you may never be recognized for going above and beyond. Morale is the lowest I have ever seen anywhere with constant layoff threats. Jobs moving overseas to again cut costs.

Pros

Benefits are great, base pay could be better.

Cons

Currently the major location with jobs are not attractive, pay should reflect the undesirable location.

Pros

Work-life balance has been great at the Long Beach site. My coworkers are very considerate and supportive. Benefits suck as parental leave and 401k, Roth 401k, and mega backdoor Roth make it so you can really get ahead in terms of retirement building. They are trying to get better in culture and performance rather than some companies that don’t even pretend to care. During the pandemic there was no training. Now there’s some!

Cons

Base pay can be slightly lower than other companies for specific skills. Each site and each organization within each site has its own culture depending on who is the VP/executive team. There are so many executives it’s hard to get things done. Things move very slowly.
