Pros

Cafeteria, premises is beautiful but difficult to get to if you do not have a car. Benefits are OK. (Mostly) great people to work with.

Cons

Outdated culture. Discrimination in the workplace, overachievers are often ridiculed because it is kind of a slacker environment. If they decide that they do not like you, they make up cases against you to pressure you into quitting since they cannot fire you without time and reasons. Never got an exit interview because they didn't want me to be honest about how they treated me. E & C are the worst people to work with since they want to stay at the top and anyone who tries to climb will be forced into leaving the company. Not to mention all of the blatant drug use from leaders who do not even try to hide it and encourage their subordinates to do the same. If you survey all of the employees in that department, the majority of them will tell you I was always there to help them, I was knowledgeable and they felt that they could rely on me and trust my answers given. Their opinions of me are actually the ones that matter.

Pros

-Trustworthy immediate colleagues -Good work/life balance and flexibility

Cons

-Little career pathing within company. Organization is extremely siloed, and cheap as they simply aren't interested in paying for small things to advance one's career like local industry conferences and events such as team holiday dinners that would have minimal impact on the company's bottom line. -Pay not aligned with skills or talent marketplace -One would think a benefits/career consultant would have decent pay and benefits. This is not the case
