Pros

Great Benefits. They have good Health Care, 401K, ESOP, and plenty of vacation. Work environment is usually pleasant. Fellow workers/team members are very helpful.

Cons

No training. Very poor leadership. They expect you to work 10 hrs. a day minimum. There are no backups to take the vacation they give you. Very little chance for anything other than a lateral move. They assign you Six Sigma projects on top of the incredible work load. Forced ranking sets up competition with people who are on your team.

Pros

Great benefits, good work life balance.

Cons

Your success in the company depends on your direct manager. If you have a terrible manager, you will not progress up the ladder. If you have a good manager, your career will flourish. Too many downsizing/restructuring programs. The CEO is fixated on EBITA, the bottom line is more valued than the "human element".
