Pros

Reccognized company name, Good benefits package, Nice, clean working environment with employees treated respectfully. Good job if you like to be in highly structured environment with little room for individualization.

Cons

It is hard to get time off for family and children's events as there is no time available on a normal basis. You are constantly being told what you did wrong in a call or on a file even if 99% of it was perfect its not good enough. You rarely hear of the 99% you did right since they are too busy telling you what you could have done better.

Pros

- Benefits package is solid. - People are nice and there's a sense of team. - The company is very supportive both of associates and in our local communities. You can do your job, but also get involved in lots of other activities (volunteering, sports, cultural events.) - There is a lot of work to do ... so I never feel bored. My days go by rather quickly. - Great brand recognition. - Ethical company; part of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway.

Cons

- There are lots of policies and procedures, and specific ways of doing your job which can seem rather inflexible.

Pros

Job security - you have piece of mind that your job is secure Profit sharing - large bonus at the end of the year if company meets its goals (though salaries are lower) Culture - company supports good causes and I work with good people

Cons

Lack of promotional opportunities - I work in a very technical field so there are not many places for me to go in the company, but where I am there is no upward mobility. Potential burnout - employees have a very high workload
