Pros

Good pay, generally a good culture and atmosphere. Employee safety is very important

Cons

Management is disorganized structurally. Holes in the structure are allowed to exist. HR has too much power. Little to no training, except for new grads. It's all about who you know, not what you know. Many management decisions have been made to raise cost of production, so layoffs now.

Pros

Salary and benefits very good overall. Flexible schedule with ability to work remotely. Good vacation time and very understanding surrounding sick leave.

Cons

IT management is horrible. Lots of employees who have worked there for 30+ years with minimal skillset making big decisions for the company. Cost cutting rampant due to mismanagement at senior IT level. Sourcing strategy unrealistic and unsustainable. A lot of "quick win" thinking to increase bonuses without true strategic direction. Reactive behavior drives the IT decision making much of the time due to poor planning.

Pros

I worked in litigation. For the most part, working there was a good experience. Flexible hours and time management. The benefits were good, and pay within industry standards.

Cons

I didn't care for the non-support from management when I made an error. I saw partiality given to the layers but not to the support staff.
