Pros

Salary seemed competitive PTO was very good Benefits were okay

Cons

-They eliminated this position and sent a lot of people scrambling. They hired people just to let them go a few months later and apparently this was a pre-COVID plan so they are okay messing with peoples livelihood.

Pros

Good culture and respectable pay.

Cons

Like most Fortune 500s, there are bad managers simply due to size and a lack of focused oversight on middle managers, as one might theorize due to the Peter Principle.
