Pros

The compensation packages are highly competitive, with the pension being a significant value add for those seeking a career. Despite having over 2,000 employees, the company maintains a small-company feel, where most employees are on a first-name basis.

Cons

Most tools and technology are outdated and inefficient for work. While the overall culture is friendly and helpful, it seems to lack performance-based factors that drive operational success. This results in a slow-moving ship resistant to change and new ideas.

Benefits and pay are good.

Cons

Lots of backstabbing. High paid managers that nobody knows what they do (or notice if they are gone).
