Pros

Good pay and benefits, free parking. Decent work location unless you want to get something to eat and keep working.

Cons

It's a closed organization. Either you are in the family (determined by how many friends you can make) and do well. Or you are not and you fail. Entrenched senior management that is clueless to the market realities around them and still manages the way companies did in the 80's, and still have systems used then, too. Strategy changes quarterly other than the vague 'Path To.." campaigns that are little more than platitudes they come up with every 5 years. Operations units run the company and are driven by short-term margins that are arrived at the way they calculated cost 30 years ago. There are no meaningful customer support mechanisms and the company has no clue how to deliver scalable and repeatable services. And anyone who points out all this dysfunction is doomed. So it's dysfunctional and resists any attempt to change. Avoid working at this company like you would the Plague.

Pros

A fast paced and interesting industry

Cons

Leadership above branch level is laughably out of touch with front-line operations, existing in a corporate bubble full of backbiting and office politics. Due to this, senior leaders push processes, tools, and systems that are woefully inadequate and unfit for purpose onto the branches. They then place blame on branch-level leaders and employees when they inevitable fail in spectacular fashion. Facilities and equipment are worn threadbare and are, frankly, unsafe. Senior leadership postures like it cares about engagement and safety, but every single bit of focus is on cutting jobs and costs, often in ways that are dishonest, unsafe, and unethical. Who we can fire next is a daily topic of conversation. Support systems and training are practically non-existant. You will have zero work/life balance and there is no opportunity for progression. Mass layoffs will occur nearly every quarter. Communication and coordination are non-existent.
