Pros

There is a company shutdown at the end of year that is almost 2 weeks long. Flex Time, some salaried people actually get OT pay for anything over 40.

Cons

The raises are tiny. They are never what you actually deserve. each department is given a certain amount of money and the supervisors get together like a round table and practically have to scrap it out for who is deserving or who they want to give what to and only a certain amount of people can be promoted. Some supervisors advocate more for their people than others so you can get screwed. whatever is left they practically split it between everyone. so for example everyone could get about 3%. HR is corrupt. The hotline is a scam. Don't report anything with your name attached because you will become a target. HR and mgmt will be on you until they can twist something, falsify something or make something fit what they want to make you look bad then fire you. Some supervisors get away with some pretty far out stuff. HR will just support mgmt in whatever they say. You don't have a chance. They play favorites. There is a lot of prejudice, sexual harassment, scrutiny and railroading.
