      Great place to work if you are very close to retirement and this is your last role.

      Pros

      Mission and values of the organization are commendable. Knowing you are helping people with their retirement, higher education employees has some rewards to cause pride.

      Cons

      The culture is world class passive aggressive, so you will constantly need to watch your back, get pretty much everything in writing and trust nothing for face value. There seems to be no rime, no reason as to why people are recognized or promoted ( except they are "the teachers pet"). The politics and game playing are work class within this organization and it is truely a shame, but management does not appear to want it to change.

      Took a 20% cut in pay to escape the insanity of working here!

      Pros

      They have very generous benefits package. Especially their Pension contribution. 23 day of paid vacation at time of hire...(Very generous unless you work in the Call Center!) Had some great co-workers.

      Cons

      The company has two very distinct and polar cultures. You either belong to a country club or your serving a prison sentence. There is major lack of competence at all levels of management. Communication is non-existent and when senior management elects to communicate with employees, it is one way only. They never ask for feedback. All departments within company are in their own separate silo and information does not pass freely between them.
