Pros

The company is above average when it comes to salary. Quite frankly, many of the leaders don't deserve the salaries they get.

Cons

If you think all of your education, accolades and degrees will get you somewhere in this company, you are completely wrong! It is all about how well you brown nose and WHO you know. It is quite the norm to move people into position who have absolutely NO experience whatsoever. This also happened to me. I was moved along into another position without any training or experience, just because the leaders had a conversation and shifted things around. Employees who get the better positions, get them because of their networking skills or other personal skills (if you know what I mean). There is no home/work balance!!! They will lay off thousands and force the remaining staff to do the work of 2 or 3 people without any increase or leniency.

Pros

Compensates generously, prioritizes employees and DEI, crazy good benefits, opportunity for growth. You're recognized for your contributions.

Cons

Not immune to downsizing/sales. There are people there that should have been put on PIP plans, but sometimes there is a reluctance to do that.

Pros

Learned alot with 20+ years with the company, fun place to work, meet great people, Awesome pay.

Cons

Management will throw you under the bus to save themselves, will not stick up for employees, supervisor yelling at team meetings, slamming things around and acting childish. Best micromanager out there.
