Pros

Extremely competitive pay for the industry. Decent amount of upward mobility near term, endless amount if you're in for the long haul. The vast majority of management positions, entry level through senior, are held by employees within 10 years of retirement. Promotes from within. Very few management positions filled via external recruiting.

Cons

Promotions are not always performance based. Who you know overrides what you know. Very traditional "old school" company with an aged workforce. Slowly becoming more progressive but still a decade behind companies of comparable size/revenue. Locations in every state in the US but all senior management positions located in Memphis.

Pros

The company provides a lot of stability to their employees. In 3 years I didn't see any firing process, even to employees that weren't performing well.

Cons

Company is too slow. Nothing happens and promotions take more than 5 years to happen. Salary increase is very very low and I didn't see any young people happy there, once only friends of old employees have the chance to be promoted.
