      Great place to learn. Not a great place to advance.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. The pay is good 2. The work is challenging (never bored) 3. Professional development is encouraged through education opportunities and training 4. Job is secure, very stable company. Also very ethical, don't have to worry about an Enron situation

      Cons

      1. Very old school mentality in terms of work-life balance: a. Face time is important b. If you're leaving at 5, you're not considered a good employee (even if you're working from home at night) c. Don't even think about a part-time schedule 2. Getting promoted is difficult. You never really know when you will get promoted. It's like a dangling carrot that nobody tells you how to get. 3. Lots of work, not enough people (varies between groups). Lost a few employees to other companies and they were just replaced with contractors (who charge by the hour, so not the most efficient).

      Pros

      This company is great in that it is very stable. During the economic downturn there were no lay-offs and some employees actually received raises. The benefits package is also great having medical, dental, vision, life insurance, 401K, and a defined contribution pension. There is also a yearly bonus which ranges between 10 and 23 percent based on personal performance and company performance.

      Cons

      This company is slow to promote employees. This is compounded by the fact that most employees never leave. Many employees have been with the company for over 20 years. There are also some poor managers within the company. The culture of the company seems to assume that if a person masters an area of expertise they will make a great manager and that is often not the case.

      Pros

      This is a place where people come to die. If you just want a steady paycheck until the day you retire, then this is the place to be.

      Cons

      1. When I started here in 2006, my new fellow employees made a big deal out of the fact that I have a college degree. Need I say more about the people who work here? 2. Also, it's a rarity to find a colleague that can speak proper English. 3. All anyone here can think about is the day they retire. 4. Hard work, intelligence, and drive is looked upon as a threat and is immediately discouraged. 5. Since this company is government regulated, the work ethics and culture is identical to that of city workers'. 6. Working with people who should've been fired a long time ago.
