Pros

The company tries very hard to promote a positive corporate culture throughout the company by things like employee appreciation day and team outings. Also the company is a very large international firm which gives you exposure to working for a large corporation and other opportunities to pursue. The benefit package is pretty good compared to some competitors.

Cons

If you studied logistics or supply chain and have these grand ideas of practicing what you learned with a big picture outlook of the supply chain as a whole, you are sadly mistaken. You will sit in a cube doing mundane, monotonous, mindless work that leaves you utterly unsatisfied. You will work long hours without moving, mostly rework fixing something somebody else messed up. Any competent employee stays here a maximum of a year or two then moves on to something far better. Aside from all of this the pay is terrible.

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.
