Pros

The pay is good. Benefits are okay. The top three executives are smart, genuine, authentic, transparent individuals. I'll go as far to say they are great leaders.

Cons

I think the great leaders are being "played" by HR. HR creates the political environment and can't be trusted. Too much finger pointing and not enough transparency. Some managers rely on "spies" to get feedback about their employees. The same managers listen against their employees and frustrate them to leave. Job descriptions get "dumbed down" to allow "favorites" to qualify for a promotion. High performers are penalized by carrying to load of non-performers.

Pros

Stable company with guaranteed cash flow and very long time employees.

Cons

The culture is very old, like the company, and getting anything accomplished is like pulling teeth. Middle and lower levels of leadership are in constantly turf battles, and the worker-bees skills atrophy while they all create barriers. It seemed good at first, but after the first few months, watch out.

No selling required and the pay is pretty good.

There is no support internally if you want to transfer. Most people need to leave the company if they want to do better in their careers.
