Pros

Free insurance (but expect to pay high copayments so I guess thats a CON also). You start with two weeks vacation and accrue 4 hours of sick pay a month. The job is stable once you're hired on, unless you really mess up.

Cons

**Recently sales in many different branches went around asking employees to go on Glassdoor to leave GOOD reviews since the "real reviews" were making the company look bad. If you see a long list of hyped reviews, chances are, they're fake. Keep that in mind. ** -Micromanaged to the point of suffocation -You're expected to work OT and sacrifice any personal life you have at minimal pay to get the job done -Expect to move up only if you become part of the inner circle and are good at socializing -Expect to deal with a lot of recent college grads who still live with their parents and come in with the spoiled brown nosing attitude -Expect to be a temp for a very VERY long time before getting hired (if even) -Expect to the start at the lowest possible wage acceptable in an industry where people in other companies make at least an extra 10 k a year. **You're expected to learn very complicated things quickly and the training is always on the fence. Managers fail to understand that employees have a life outside of the work place. Branches are losing employees , especially at ORD. There is a reason for that.

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.
