Pros
Tuition reimbursement for taking any college level class. Graduation Gift ($10,000) for completing a degree using tuition reimbursement (employee scholar program). Paid time off (up to 3 hours per week) for class work plus all textbooks for classes paid for. Casual dress code and relaxed atmosphere with many great people. Flexible work hours. Christmas shutdown from Christmas Eve to new year day off.
Cons
Lower pay compared to other companies in the area. Significant pay differences within different business units for similar work. Classic big company with lots of management layers and bureaucracy. IT services outsourced to CSC Corporation and their (CSC) service is non-existent and their policies are fit for company with main frames. Takes 7 years of service to get 3 weeks of vacation. Most company sponsored functions (such as company picnics) tied to united way fundraising and they nickel and dime you for everything (so it really is not company sponsored). Unionized hourly employees have no real incentive to do a good job on their work and sometimes difficult to work with.
