Pros

- Job opportunities IF you're willing to relocate - Good starting salary - Benefits package

Cons

If you happen to get on the bad side of management, which I happened to do with the section manager, you are not going to go anywhere. It does not matter if your work product is excellent and you are ambitious and hardworking. People are not held accountable for poor work product and you will need to commit gross misconduct to get fired. I am being borderline harassed by my section manager because of the preconceived notion that I "socialize" without taking a look at my work product or customer service skills. Also, they look down upon you if you want to move up but do not want to relocate.

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
