Pros

My experience has been management is very hands off and allows their employees to work at their own pace. Some of the training and education opportunities are very good. The culture is very nice but a bit old.

Cons

Raises, salary, and benefits are average to poor. The benefits are not particularly good. There is only one option for the medical and it's not particularly good. The dental and vision are mediocre at best. Raises are 2% to 4%, I've never heard of anything higher than that. There is no bonus or profit sharing. Salary tend to be below average.

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.
