Pros

New investments in quality outside CIO, IS restructuring. Decent PTO once you’re here long enough. Actual job is a fun challenge to me, and with the exception of a few bad apples, most coworkers are good at their jobs and good to work with. Finally starting to see more retirements resulting in new blood and newer ways of thinking. Pay is way below industry standard, and varies by employees with similar skills. No cost of living increases. Tied to a bonus.

Cons

Typical “employees are the #1 asset” but in words only. Management are hit or miss in terms of soft skills. Many don’t have the ability to manage people and were just very productive employees who got promoted. Lots of HR nightmares. Cronyism and Nepotism exist here and you never know who you are dealing with. Employee paid health plan where the employer continues to remove RX drugs from their plan and offer poor alternatives. Most middle/ upper management sits in their positions for years wait and hoping someone in upper management will finally retire and cause some change in the ranks.

Pros

Stability and job security, formerly. Compressed work weeks and work-life balance, formerly. A 47-year no-layoff policy tested in two recessions and a pandemic. Formerly. Now? Well, all of those are gone, so it's hard to really cite anything other than that there's health care and the paychecks don't bounce.

Cons

The same stuff that's always been there, for one. Strict dress code. Dated systems they're trying to run away from as fast as humanly possible. Strict in-office culture with limited WFH. Little to no upward mobility; most senior management has been there for 20+ years and when someone does get promoted, the remaining jobs often seem to magically go to their buddies without getting bid. A complete inability to manage and coordinate anything effectively amongst multiple teams, which apparently is going to be somehow solved by laying off almost all the project/program managers. Oh, and on top of all that? Now, the new regime will lay you off, but first they'll gaslight you and claim the no-layoff policy never existed. Then they'll claim the team managers (who they conveniently also laid off) did the rankings that determined who got cut. Then they'll put a bunch of the survivors into a "bootcamp" and then make them interview to keep their jobs.
