Pros

Pay check arrives on time

Cons

Middle management is insecure and treacherous. Many managers are profoundly incompetent. Senior executives are trying to use deception and confusion with work tasking to RIF while hoping nobody notices so they don’t have to pay unemployment or severance.

Pros

Great benefits which include retirement benefits.

Cons

Role based training minimal. Training for job minimal. Promotions hard to come by. Often leadership will say something one day and the next day go in a total different direction. Hard to feel confident about what we are told.
