      An OK Job, But Not a Place to Build a Career

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Flexible schedule, good health insurance with high employer contribution, consistent annual reviews with merit raises (cost-of-living - in the 3% range), off Fridays, generous severance packages.

      Cons

      Poor and constantly changing upper management, frequent layoffs, and low salaries compared to market. Little opportunity for advancement. HR is disconnected and has minimal interest in supporting employees. There is a general atmosphere of paranoia and unhappiness resulting from years of layoffs. The company demonstrates very little value for existing employees and has no problem getting rid of good employees who have years of company knowledge and experience just to save a few bucks.

      Fair work/life balance, fair benefits. Management increasingly disconnected.

      Pros

      Good work/life balance with flex time, "California Fridays" (half days on Friday), and one week extra vacation for Christmas. Stock plan is good, insurance plan is comparable to other companies. Opportunities to travel with paid overtime and great opportunities to work directly with the simulators, which are fun.

      Cons

      Management is getting more and more disconnected. They don't want to hire, they don't understand the day-to-day concerns of the people at the bottom of the pyramid. Some promotions make no sense. The best people often leave for greener pastures. Every year we hear publicly how great the company is doing, but internally we're always broke. What gives?
