Pros

Very few pros left at this once great place to work. Desperation to hire candidates, due to extremely high turnover, has led to the ability to earn higher than market rates, for most positions, but not really worth it.

Cons

This is a family run, huge company, that has gotten well beyond the family's ability to manage. People are treated poorly, as property, not as valued members of a productive team. International investments have caused this company to stretch beyond the original values that made it great, and a one-size-fits-all approach has destroyed the culture resulting in extremely high employee turnover, for good reasons, you'd be best to avoid, unless you are actually a member of the family.

Pros

HQ building is pretty cool and you can get some neat tours of company facilities. Work life balance is generally pretty good.

Cons

The company just has no idea what its doing regarding IT. Most management has been there 25+ years and still wants to operate like its the 90s. Head of IT is an accountant and the department is treated like a necessary evil and employees are told they provide no tangible value. Making any kind of impact is actively discourage and 'stay in your lane' is a core tenet. If you want to just show up, grind, and go home, this is the place for you.
