Pros

A constant paycheck and a job

Cons

1. A lot of nepotism within the branch. Way to many family members of leads,managers, supervisors, district managers etc, working at the company. If you don't know somebody chances are you will not go far. Doesn't take a dummy see how management favors their family or extended family with a little research any one can find out very quickly how true this is. 2. To many people in position of power/Management due to the fact of who there mom, dad,uncle or father in law is etc. 3. Creepy old men. Many of the older men who have been with the company 15+ years, are very creepy flirting and making many of the women uncomfortable. especially the younger women, quite disgusting, you can see the discomfort on the women's faces. 4. All the fraternizing within the company it self, which also ends up becoming favoritism 5. A lot of negativity within the branch due to unqualified management, leading to a lot of animosity within the branch. 6. Management does not provide guidance even when sought out. This is when the nepotism kicks in and you can see very quickly who and why others are succeeding over others.

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.
