Pros

Generally good work environment; senior management needs training on how to manage people

Cons

Cuts jobs annually last several years "to meet numbers", but lays off older workers and then reposts many cut positions at a lower level. Calls it "rebalancing" - rebalancing is eliminating the old and bringing in the young

Pros

Pay is higher than most in the area. Hours are good. Benefits are good.

Cons

It’s very difficult to get time off for anything, regardless of how much vacation time you have. Only 15% of those hours will carry over and you lose what you’ve worked for and weren’t able to use. Not enough floats to cover the territory so people can actually get time off. Pay raises aren’t very good.
