Pros

Great benefits - medical, dental, 401k with match, etc. After 1 year of service you get 3 weeks of vacation.

Cons

Management has head up butt. Older employees not valued, they want young wet behind ears managers/employees. Employees are not valued - "less with less" is a joke, everyone is overworked. Pay is below average. All direction comes from high up - no challenge from inside - yes mans! High turnover, important knowledgable people leave and create a void. No one can make a decision in fear of being wrong. Moral in toilet. No opportunity for advancement.

Pros

Employee Benefits, Multiple Companies to choose from for employment. Buying power because of the size of company and expansive industries.

Cons

Do not understand appropriate infrastructure alignment by having detailed roles & responsibilities defined and filled with the appropriate personnel; Personnel then need to understand not only their responsibility, but others as well, in order to run efficiently and effectively. Do not understand how to build for growth; they just buy businesses, squeeze existing growth potential out, then move on to the next business.
