Pros

Maternity leave, pension (if you stay long enough to vest).

Cons

Low 401(k) match. Typically 2%, will match 3% in profitable years. Pay is low given the expectation of 5 days in the office and 45 hours (minimum) per week. Raises are not great, even if you have a favorable performance review.

Pros

Stable company, financially sound, genuinely good people

Cons

Employee engagement and morale is terrible across the board. Very strict in the office, suit and tie, 5 days per week, 9+ hours per day. Zero work-from-home, even rarely/occasionally, for salaried professionals. Very little differentiation in compensation and advancement opportunities between high performers and mediocre performers, tenure and hours in the office is 90%. Beginning in 2025, the HR department now actively monitors and reviews every badge swipe of every home office employee. They look at, and question, when you come in, when you leave, how long you took for lunch, if you went to get coffee, etc. These reviews directly—and (only) negatively—impact bonuses and promotions. This has led to a very unprofessional and untrusting environment.
