Pros
Job stability with lots of work to be done. Free lunch in a nostalgic cafeteria setting that hasn’t changed since the 1970s. Many opportunities to support company sponsored charities and fund raising throughout the year. Free W&S logo pens. A small company library where you can check out business books for free. Company discounts for a variety of local activities W&S supports throughout the year.
Cons
Limited advancement opportunities. Heavy management hierarchy where it is all about who you know and not what you know. Senior management maintains a purposeful separation from employees. Very antiquated work environment with highly restricted opportunities to work remotely. Professional business attire with rarely a business casual day. Monthly downtown parking costs and extra fuel costs for daily commuting. Low annual merit increases on limited salary bands. All events including celebrations, funerals, promotions, retirements, holiday gatherings, etc. come out of worker’s pockets. Company doesn’t spend a penny on any of it. New employees get more respect, support, and opportunities for advancement than tenured employees.
