Pros
Company offers exceptional benefits and job security that are unparalleled in the workplace.
Cons
Advancement within this organization is highly centered around "legacy" position, who you know and willingness to "play the game" rather than professional qualifications and experience. Having worked at a variety of different companies in other industries, I have never witnessed the level of nepotism and favoritism within an organization than I have seen first-hand at this organization. Management also fosters and awards advancement to those individuals that are more dictatorial (reminiscent of the workplace 40 years ago), rather than individuals that foster a positive environment to promote professional growth. The company's management style is very antiquated with little interest in reforms. These attitudes impact both internal employees and attitudes of customers as they view the company.
