Good stable company. Great if you aren't real ambitious.

Pros

Good benefits and good working conditions. They are very understanding about personal/medical situations that might affect attendance. The company is very conservative, but they don't make a lot of mistakes, either. Acquisitions, changes in business are well thought out.

Cons

It is had to advance one's career at Vulcan, There is a great deal of nepotism in management, and lots of poor mid-level managers. If you don't get a promotion early in your career you probably won't get one at all. One particular department was so bad they couldn't fill jobs internally. Yet the manager was allowed to sustain a hostile work environment despite repeated complaints from subordinates.

Long line of people waiting on promotions that are mostly based on tenure rather that merit.

Pros

Great benefits. The senior management is great, but the mid level management is somewhat lacking. Vulcan is a great place to start a career, but if you desire advancement, you will have to look elsewhere if you have less than 8-10 years experience.

Cons

It is a great place to work, but there are a lot of old ideas still in place and a resistance to change anything that effects the middle management old guard's way of doing business.
