Pros

Health benefits and transportation basically it

Cons

Embarrassed to have wasted 2 years at this company and have this on my resume. Where workers are underpaid, opportunities for growth are few and far between, work is mundane and repetitive, there's a cultish-stifling work culture / values, employees forced to buy business professional when they're paid business casual salaries. Promotions are promised but never handed out, management is cliquey and two faced, really only a good company to work for if you're looking for an easy hire into Seattle. Honestly better off looking at Amazon for opportunities in logistics - this company's stock value only continues to decline and employee retention is low for a reason. Stay away.

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.
