Pros

The long term 20 year outlook is great. The Wealth program is there to provide a really fantastic retirement for employees. Depending on the team you are on the group can be motivational and team centric.

Cons

Not a place for short term (less than 20 year) employment. Teams are not communicative with other stake holding teams, groups within an umbrella of operations (i.e.: accounting, HR) do not know one another or what functions are held by individuals, so getting work flows moving is difficult. Getting decisions made is a heroic effort and takes a year of meetings to get all stake holders on board. Long term employees see this as "getting buy-in" meanwhile the plan being decided on is now out of date and new factors are brought in, all with no action happening. I know a co-worker in a different area that sat on 5 months of calls, only to have the final call to discuss who they would hand off the project to since no one could make a decision. If you can deal with these kinds of issues, the pay is steady and job movement is encouraged every 4 years so you won't get stale in a role.

Pros

Salaries and Benefits above market A lot of resources, in general, nice people.

Cons

Senior Leaders look mainly for young people, once you get to 40, consider looking for another opportunity because the will not longer pay attention to you and may get rid of you very fast, even if you are a good performer....you make too much $$. It is a cut throat environment...but you can make good money, if that is what you care. They reorganize every 2 years and post your job under you....(no worries) they will pay you to stay quiet. Integrity is not their Forte. They don't really value diversity...they may talk about a lot but...just be careful.

Pros

Great benefits and compensation packages. Great people to work with and had a lot of time off. Gained good front line work experience

Cons

Employees became a number, created a very competitive work environment which led to low function teams. My development depended on one supervisor and a lot of pressure to move up or move out.
