Pros

Financially stable and has been around for a while.

Cons

There is a lot of friction between the company and union employees, and neither trusts the other. The company talks about it's values and has put a lot of thought into them, however there is little enforcement of those values. Job security, better treatment, and competitive compensation seem to apply only to Sales people.

Pros

Unlimited vacation is a perk.

Cons

The company has serious cultural and leadership issues, particularly around accountability for inappropriate conduct. There have been significant concerns regarding a senior global employee’s behavior, including inappropriate sexual relationships with employees across multiple countries and concerns about misuse of position, influence, and company resources to support his behavior. The fact that these concerns were reportedly allowed to continue raises serious questions about the company’s commitment to "safety". Reporting concerns to HR was not viewed as an effective solution. A workplace cannot maintain trust when employees believe power and position can shield predatory behavior. Employees should also be aware that compensation expectations may not align with reality. Bonuses that employees work toward throughout the year will not be paid out as expected, and communication around these decisions has been unclear and last minute. Overall, leadership has appeared disorganized, unqualified, inconsistent, and lacking direction.
