Pros

The work schedule was nice - 8:00 - 4:30 pm. If you want a typical schedule that didn't require much time outside of the work day this is a good fit; allows for family/work balance. Always good to be a part of the team that is a leader in the industry.

Cons

Lots of layers within an organization making it difficult to make progress at times. It became stifling at times to have to answer to multiple bosses. It was a typical cubical environment that was not inspiring or invoked creativity. Lots of familial ties within the organization. Difficult to advance if you were not related to someone internally.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
