Pros

Solid company, great history, and it tries very hard to do better. Not a bad place to start a career and learn the business. The values have always been core to this company and it reminds itself of that all the time.

Cons

Middle and senior mgt are insecure and have not really developed as managers. It is definitely run by fiefdom and how well you promote and kiss up to your manager. This happens at every level. As much as they talk about employee development, it is woefully lacking. Folks are beginning to understand that they own their own development but many view that as getting face time and looking for opportunities to get "on stage" as opposed to actually doing work and getting noticed that way. It is a very passive - aggressive culture. So buckle up. Don't believe what people are saying in front of you, It's a different story once you've turned your back,

Pros

- Benefits are great for those with families - 401k match is very competitive

Cons

- Poor leadership - Very little transparency on the direction of changes made in the company - Culture has not traction, the push they've made to establish a healthy culture has drowned due to leaders not living by them

Pros

The people and benefits. I loved working for this company for the last 9 years. Always felt part of a team and treated as a person.

Cons

Laid off due to the need to reduce expenses for department. I wish they would have asked me if I would lower my salary instead. I felt that the company values were not followed by the team I was under.
