Pros
The benefits are amazing--great health coverage, vacation and the 401(k) matching is above and beyond.
Cons
It's all about who you know and not what you bring to the table. Most of the management has been at Vulcan for many years; because of that, they realize what a cushy position they have and will do anything to keep it. Hoarding work, not giving recognition to the lower-level employees and basically treating everyone below as nothing more than staff. All levels of management are really good at lip-service recognition, but it generally comes off as forced and not genuine that it makes everyone feel even worse. They keep trying to initiate new employee-focused programs but they don't seem to quite work. Company doesn't make/sell a product or a service. While the owner does invest in some pretty cool and interesting things, in the end you're basically just working to help one man acquire and maintain all of his toys. They've had several rounds of layoffs in the past few years--paring down employees to a very low level. People are working longer and longer hours and there is a lot of discontentment in the ranks.
