      Pretty good

      Pros

      Stable company with pretty solid job security. There are some very good people and there are some that aren't so good.

      Cons

      Many promotions are based on who you know or whom you are related to. There are too many people who get promoted that aren't qualified.

      Pros

      Great opportunity that allows you to own your own business. The more you do the more you make, unlike other companies and positions.

      Cons

      You must have start up money to get started and to live off of during the first couple of years.

      So concerned with process that actual contribution is not as important as doing what is expected

      Pros

      Working for the company is considered a privledge and if you are willing to do what is asked, even if it has nothing to do with your strengths and ability to contribute, there is stability in your misery. Performance goals are so abstract that success and performance ratings are not related, if your liked you'll be there. Stability of a mutual company.

      Cons

      Highly political, treatment is based on who you know not what. You can get away with anything if your manager likes you, nothing if they don't. No matter how good you are at something only what the company needs is considered in placement. Training is not provided to all, or based on abilities, back to if your liked. One mistake destroys careers at SF. Old school management where focus is on "fixing" weakness instead of leveraging strengths wasting great talent. Loyalty is expected at all costs when non is returned. It is based on a totally biased system based on who you know, who you irritated, and who likes you.
