Pros

401(k) matching Pension plan (if you dare stay long enough) Flexible work options (for some positions) Company vehicle (for some positions) Other standard industry benefits - insurance, ma/paternal leave, educational reimbursement, etc.... Annual bonus can be sizable - if company is profitable, however bonuses are not based upon individual performance. In years the company is not profitable, bonus is nonexistent, even if individual performance is exceptional.

Cons

The company has been likened to the Titanic of the industry for a long time - large, capable of carrying the load, but unable to turn quickly and is on a collision course. Two unprofitable years (across the entire industry) and there is a desire to change many things overnight. Most of these changes have been poorly implemented. For a company that forces the kool-aid that we are the best in the business, they do not pay anywhere near the best in the business. Much of middle management has no backbone and only peddles the mud from upstream. Information only flows down. Middle management fails to relay feedback from lower levels to executive management.

Pros

* Great business model at the foundation * Solid compensation program: Base salary + bonus * Sustained high profitability over the long term * Stable employement * Pension Plan

Cons

* Extremely hierarchical and regimented * Promotions based on favortism rather than true merit. Employees are precategorized and stigmatized on their ability for future career progression. * Extremely focused on metrics and internal objectives. This leads to box checking, cutting corners and bending rules to meet the numbers. * Extremely heavy workload. No work-life balance. * Management doesn't really incorporate employee feedback; they pretend to to check a box. * Quality of job suffers to keep up with quantity. Everything is becoming data driven and the data is often wrong. Enormous pressure to hit a button and accept at face value whatever the system spews out. * Our CEO builds fancy gold plated office buildings that aren't needed and pulled the plug on hybrid work to justify the investment in the real estate.
