      It's not about the work you do, it's about who likes you

      Pros

      Really great benefits (medical, dental, 401K, flex spending etc). More than fair compensation. Some opportunity for growth depending on the timing and who you know.

      Cons

      There are a lot of office politics. A lot of people have been there for a very long time and are stuck in a, "that's the way we've always done it" type mentality. There are some romances between managers and their subordinates that have been going on and a lot of other managers turn a blind eye. There's a lot of blaming and not a lot of responsibility taking. No support from HR whatsoever. Definitely some race tension amongst departments. In trying to save money, they will pile a lot of work onto one person in various departments.

      Not the most progressive

      Pros

      Decent benefits and okay work/life balance (especially those that work in HR - they seem to get away with working from home a lot). Pretty stable company, although since the CEO change probably some worries among employees.

      Cons

      The company doesn't really seem to progress especially when it comes to investing in technology and salaries. Very stuck in the old ways on many fronts.

      Pros

      No union is a plus; the annual Christmas party is paid for by the company including alcohol; the shop is clean, bright and mostly air conditioned; a lot of good people to work with; decent communication from above about corporate goals and progress; strong focus on safety.

      Cons

      Comparatively low pay for almost every job function, especially while touting "competitive compensation"; below average benfits; "Americanized" style management meaning the bottom line is all that matters; the work force is treated with contempt; management is very cliquish and does nothing to hinder favouritism; high turnover in a number of job functions due to pay, politics lack of repsonse by management to concerns; archaic computing technology (Windows XP and Office 97); management that likes to pidgeon hole people;
