Pros
SEL is the area's largest private employer. They are technologically advanced for the Palouse. If you want to work in a corporate setting this is the place to be. There are always many positions open and a fair amount of opportunity for growth (for the right person). The medical benefits are by far the best available in Moscow/Pullman. I have learned an outstanding amount at SEL. You are always so busy and it is impossible not to learn! There are also very bright people to work with and some great friends to be made.
Cons
The major things that comes to mind when thinking of cons are all the lies and Human Resources whose whole purpose is to further lies instead of advocate for employees. SEL puts extreme focus on its values and running it business like "your mother would want you to." But the values are only applicable in certain settings and are more likely to be used against you than to be followed. And if the way people are treated is how "your mother would want you to," I would rather not meet your mother. Human Resources role should at least partially be one of advocating for employees. SEL HR is about making senior management happy regardless of the impact to the employee. Decisions are made on whim and with a "say yes now, think about if makes sense later, leave your employees to clean up the mess" mentality. I would avoid HR.
