Pros

Good health benefits for you and your direct family (spouse/kids), good working environment (depending on the department you are in). One of the reasons that made me stay for more than 5 years already.

Cons

Salary not as competitive to high paying jobs but you are certain that what they give is a stable or "just right" amount to make sure that you can sustain your job in the company. Current HR team is not good in implementing (ComRes) the true essence of being an HR to their group. Some management tends to listen to only one side of the company without fully validating the scenario. This has an impact on the employees' morale.

Pros

Great immediate supervisor and their boss. Made top-down communications tolerable. Great co-workers and great collaboration that lifted the entire team.

Cons

(1) RIF based on tenure, not performance. HR is too powerful a department, and everyone fears it. (2) Tenure made you lazy, killed creativity, initiative, and promoted a "yes" culture. (3) During COVID layoffs, CEO pay went from $3.7 million to $15.x million, while employees endured 25% furloughs for 3 months, and management 10% reduction in pay for 6 months - explain how that is reasonable. (4) CEO declared DEI as the way forward for career mobility, and a lot of young, promising talent walked out the door, including DEI-qualified minorities. (5) I was one of those minorities.
