Pros

Great pay and benefits package. Nice downtown location and a nice office. People are generally friendly.

Cons

Very political and cut throat. Long work hours are expected. Like anywhere they say you work long hours when needed but it’s expected a lot. Managers and directors are always stressed out. Many, many meetings with people who just like to be heard. Heartless people get rewarded. They hire a lot of people with no personal skills. HR is a joke. HR looks out for directors. Complaints from lower employees are ignored or dismissed.

Pros

They get you golden cuffed to your desk by the paycheck, good benefits and guaranteed (!!) bonus

Cons

Non-regulated part of the business is run by the people who came from the regulated part, hence, they have no clue about competitiveness, risk taking or decision making but still pretend to be serious players. Red tape, stone age managerial style, zero motivation or leadership

Pros

Very good bonus plan. Hey how can you not have a good bonus plan when you work for a legalized monopoly. Profitable every year! Wait, how can you not be profitable when you work for a legalized monopoly. If you like getting paid well and getting a guaranteed bonus each year, this is the place for you (as long as you can deal with the cons).

Cons

Very slow pace. It takes forever to get promoted. Directors are cut throat and most have zero integrity. Sr. Leaders don’t have any idea what is actually going on in the day to day. Because the directors paint a rosy picture and basically lie. Directors will throw you under the bus without even batting an eyelash. There is a lot of politics! If you don’t like playing politics, then don’t apply to this company. Directors play favorites and will tell you that they treat you differently because they expect more from you. That really makes sense. The lack of integrity at this company is sad. There are so many employees that sit around and do nothing every day. They always say “somebody has to do this” and don’t even care that it is his job! It doesn’t matter though because these people are protected. They are in with the shady directors so they can sit and stare at the monitor all day and blame others without consequence.
