Pros

- Good health Benefits - No Lay-offs - Awesome co-workers

Cons

- You will work in a cubicle - Technology and systems are some of the worst in the industry - Pay is extremely low and lower than competitors(this is how they don't lay anyone off) - Work from home is 26 days per year but the managers create an environment that they don't want you to use them - They still believe in wearing a suit and tie to sit in a cubicle and answer emails and take virtual calls - The workload and shipment count per employee is very high and every employee is overloaded with more work than is possible without working on your personal time - You won't make decent pay until you're in upper management which will be 7-10 years in unless they're desperate to hire. - The top performers get better pay anywhere else and leave. - No work life balance

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.
