Great work life balance, benefits, opps. Culture is great and wonderful, smart, and talented people to work with. Love it!

It is a company that rewards seniority a lot of times which can make it difficult to advance or come in from outside at a more senior grade level.

Pros

Strong work-life balance, culture of innovation, open to new ideas/different ways of thinking, many different opportunities. The company is so well-diversified that there are many different career paths one can take.

Cons

HQ in St Paul, MN & lots of locations in undesirable places to live, frequent supervisor/leadership changes, not very good with IT or rapid technology changes. Hard to achieve significant pay raises - annual reviews are more about the business conditions & less about individual's strong contributions.
