Pros

Pay and benefits 85% to 100% competitive to competitors compensation.

Cons

Is a highly volatile political atmosphere in which to work! Depending on whom you are, if you are hourly and not personally favored by your manager you will be held to strict company policy. If you are a 50 level or higher salaried employee you can pretty much do anything you want to in front of anyone and they will be required to turn a blind eye to your unprofessional activities during working hour. No opportunity for hourly employees to be promoted into salaried ranks. Salaried ranks get promoted quit frequently.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
