Pros

Benefits are good. Some managers listen to employees.

Cons

Unrealistic expectations. Constant turnover of employees. Management styles in some areas is intimidation or "bullying". In lower levels much advancement is not based on ability. Inconsistency in policies for filling positions. Some people can "transition" into positions while others must apply and compete for the same position. Pay raises and bonuses in lower levels are poor.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good salary, good health benefits, preventative wellness program, healthy inexpensive cafeteria food, nurse on-site, opportunities to win tickets to sporting events (employee pays a $15 fee for baseball games at the Co. suite) and concerts, including the Fox theater

Cons

Sometimes managers with "get it done at all costs" attitudes and who have poor people/line management skills are promoted very quickly; there is also a lot of "good ole boy" favoritism; the work/deliverables is daunting---the overlap of projects can be overwhelming. Training is a "ask for it and you might be approved basis" else it's up to the employee to figure outtheir career path and request and obtain training, while still maintaining their exisiting job. If there is an HR issue brought to the attention of some managers, they will discipline the person bringing the issue to the attention of management. Do your job, get it done, "d--- the torpedos, full steam ahead!"
