Pros

Pay, benefits, pension, car, corporate card, vacation.

Cons

Ever changing operating standards and requirements from the top down with an expectation to stay up-to-date on sometimes conflicting information. A shift in focus from being an employee-centric company to being a metrics-driven company. Poor management, high turnover (despite advertising high retention during interview), and low morale all around (even pre-COVID). Burn out is common throughout the company. When annual metrics are met, the bar is only raised the next year. Lack of incentive to stay other than "total rewards." If you're in it for the money and can compartmentalize the rest, you'll last.

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.
