Pros
So many of the employees have a wealth of knowledge. The benefits are good. Plenty of sick time plus you have the option to by vacation time and adjust the payments across pay periods. Pension and two 401Ks.
Cons
Some of the Senior Management are on the way out and not on the way up. Most are completely out of touch with what is really going on in their organization. Extremely hostile work environment where you will be forced to quit. I agree with another reviewer that said, " Many supervisors are 'petty tyrannies' and an extremely hostile workplace and environment of fear exists as a result of corporate paralysis in dealing with problematic managers." There are some really great managers that love their job, that want to grow and change for the better of the company. They actually look out for their employees professionally and personally while keeping the company in mind. There are some employees that are stuck in an old school way of doing things. Women have different standards and rules than the men do when it comes to pay, the way you are treated and the way you dress. Good old boys. There is very little communication in the organization and even less cross organization collaboration. Why change anything because, "We have always done it this way." You cannot make suggestions to change things as management is very set in their ways, or they ask Executives what they should do and nothing gets changed. It is almost impossible to move up based on performance or skill set because of politics, who you are, your sex or the way you dress. So many people are so close to retirement and have officially checked out. HR policies are so out of date, and there is always a new policy about to come down, but they never do. Managers need training. There is no training for them, let alone HR training or training on how to be a good leader. There is a high turnover of the young, bright employees and no one seems to want to do anything about it. The coffee and catered food is seriously terrible.
