Pros

The pay is good especially for longer term employees. Cash profit sharing is a very nice benefit. New senior management that's been brought in over the last several years is completely changing this company - decreasing costs and benefits and increasing profitably (presumably).

Cons

New senior management that's been brought in over the last several years is completely changing this company - slashing jobs. Replacing SCJ US jobs with contract positions in India and elsewhere. They see very little value in the skills and experience of the existing workforce. The prior senior and middle managers have no ability or power to drive existing projects. Their mandate is to enforce the restructuring driven from above. Long term employees have been abandoned and driven from the company. No career advancement opportunities for younger, less costly, employees. Little future as an employee.

Pros

Great working environment, strong teams

Cons

Very slow promotions and too focused on managing up. This is unfortunate because this is such a great company, but the company will continue to lose people if they don't promote top talent.
