Pros

I had some great co-workers over the time I was there. At one time, it felt like a family.

Cons

Upper level management can be vindictive and tolerates bullying by midlevel management. HR is not your friend. Senior management response to minor and major problems is knee-jerk; the mantra is "just keep it out of the media." Resources are wasted by hiring consultants to tell them what their well-educated employees have already said. The "family friendly/ Working Mother culture is not carried through the workplace. I had a manager who told me, essentially, to get a nanny for my school age children because "that's what I did." Upper level management will stab you in the back if it makes them look good.

Pros

Diversified Varied shifts Diversified Varied locations

Cons

Games get played with promotions!!! Job descriptions are changed to allow certain people into positions then changed back. Regardless of tenure, one can be passed up for promotions because the "powers that be" want a particular person in a role that is a "yes man/woman" instead of someone more qualified. People have even been promoted into director roles without having a degree and/or little to no experience vs someone with a degree or years of experience. Raises are not fairly given. Again, tenure does not matter. Compensation needs to bring positions and salaries up to the current market value, Work life balance is a joke!!!!
