Pros

Decent benefits, scholarship program for employees children entering trade schools, a good discount program through Ticketsatwork

Cons

If they want to get rid of you, they will either A. Hire someone to work under you, give them a new title and eliminate your position or B Destroy your self esteem with horrible reviews that no matter what you say, or how hard you work, will never get better, then put you on a "performance plan" that is basically 99% chance of them having "justifiable cause for termination". Theft runs rampant and they refused to install cameras because if they did, it would show they didn't"trust" their employees. Its a dog eat dog environment. Don't trust anyone, especially in HR.

Pros

Pay and benefits. Good opportunities to volunteer in the community.

Cons

Toxic hierarchical antiquated culture. It's like working in the mid 80's and the employee's are at the whim of the oligarchy. If you want to feel passionate and connected to your employer and colleagues, this is not the place for you.
