Pros

-If you love to dress up then join up! -People get promoted within their year mark. (If you aren't promoted or they haven't given you a timeline by then, save yourself the trouble and quit immediately). -Nice benefits.

Cons

-Mandatory 10-12 hour work days during peak seasons, july-december. -Brain-dead work, no thinking or creative input is required as it is also undesired. -If you weren't hired into the fraternity, you will be treated like a peasant as you will also be required to do all the work. -Company includes integrity and honesty as part of it's, "culture," yet has neither. -Majority of employees dislike management lowering employee potential. -People pass off work constantly if you know multiple tasks. (Learn to reject additional work until you finish whatever major task you were working on, unless you can handle both and have the time to complete both). -Company flatlines and still believes people will move up as fast as when it was growing. -Initiative is undesired, as you will be undermining supervisors and managers that cannot take credit. -Blatant favoritism.

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.
