Pros

Company is very stable. Benefits are good. Lots of growth potential in the future. Nice facilities.

Cons

Works IT personnel to death. Does not trust employees. Fundamental flaws in processes are left unfixed, all focus is on security and compliance and not on proper IT governance. Upper IT management completely staffed with sociopaths who use people up and spit them out. Talented people leave quickly, so majority of employees in IT are mediocre and afraid. Culture of bullying starts at CIO and extends outward from there.

Pros

Work from home, great salary and benefits. Usually will get bonuses but not always a guarantee

Cons

It has not always been this way but my advice is to currently stay away from this department. Current management does not care about the employees or their satisfaction. It is a very negative work environment. The department is discouraged from communicating or voicing concerns and if they do they are met with passive aggressiveness. Upper level management's main concern is how much money they can save the company. Keeping the employees or the members happy are absolutely not a concern and the work environment is extremely stressful most of the time.

Pros

There are no pros to working here. Do not bother applying or interviewing because they simply lie in the interview about the job duties anyway.

Cons

It is all bait and switch. They lie about what the job entails at the interview process and continue lying after you are hired. Management just delegates everything and takes no responsibility for anything. Their methods with the members constitute harassment. Fear is the dominant aura and its common to see employees crying. Been job searching since day one but the market around here is not good. Money is okay here but not enough to keep people around. Turn over is very high. DO NOT WORK HERE unless you like to be miserable on a daily basis.
