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.

Pros

Convenient, stable employer who has adapted well to the downturn in the economy.

Cons

Employees have largely been asked to carry the burden of the downturn with additional responsibilities, people leaving are not replaced and salaries are flat.
