Pros

Well known solid company that is not likely to go under in this economy. Salary is good, but below average. Benefits are good, but declining. Good place to use as a spring board if you are just beginning your career, but don't plan to stay too long. Good resume' builder.

Cons

No work life balance although they bombard you with work life balance tips and information you can't apply. Pay is below industry standards, bonuses have gone away, insurance has gone up, coverage has gone down. Expectation is a 60-70+hr work week. Constantly reorganizing management and reporting structure. Internal IT systems are archaic causing multiple duplications of work. Be prepared to work long hard hours without the tools you need and to spend hours duplicating your work and obtaining the tools you need. Burned out employees who are doing more with less every day.

Pros

Great for gathering experience. Good Work life balance Conflicting personalities does not get you let go like other places.

Cons

Wages for non-union personnel in the Othersal band like all Techs barely keeps up with Union/Assembly Wages. Company values college far more than experience or real accomplishments, a fresh bachelors means more to them for promotions than someone who has saved over ten million dollars.
