Pros

- Appearance is top notch, for most - Good benefits, for a while - Fast pace environment, so you never get bored - 401K options - Employee stock purchase plan available

Cons

- Management is a good ole boy system. You've got to be in to get anywhere or at the very least flirt your way to the top. - Harassment and Intimidation IS ALLOWED here. They won't do anything about it. Very hostile working environment. Don't speak up or you will be pulled aside and made an example of. - No accomplishment is ever appreciated. Don't worry, someone else will take credit for it anyway. - Low base salary and anything else is just a dream in the bucket to keep working towards. - If some of the customers heard how they actually speak about them, I'm sure they wouldn't be awarding business to them. Keep it classy folks. - They interview you to death to bring you on. And talk about your interview, resume and overall appearance with the whole office before you get hired. Bet you can't wait to get started with all the folks who just bashed you before. - Zero confidentiality here. Keep to yourself in order to succeed here. - Any ideas for improvements are quickly squashed . Your input is not wanted here. Just follow directions, right or wrong and you can keep your job. But if they are wrong, you will probably be written up for doing what you are told. May the odds ever be in your favor. - Your reviews have no chance to comment on what is being said about your performances. So, you could easily be written up or bashed on your performance review and there is literally nothing you can do about it. - No one cares about you as a person. Personal check ups are not welcomed. And if you have access to your email on your phone, you better be watching it. Driving is NOT an excuse here. One hand on the wheel leaves another free for the phone....

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.
