Pros

Solid company, well respected in Des Moines area, great employees.

Cons

Used to be very fulfilling company to work for - great people, lots of opportunities, etc. Now we are faced with mandates and micromanagement to levels unseen in my 30 years. Benefit offerings have been reduced, promises of DB retirement plan have been frozen.

Pros

Hours are great for the most part.

Cons

I feel unsupported and unappreciated by direct management and with system issues that are not my fault, I was still written up and possibly being terminated.
