Pros

Stock purchase plan, 401K And every Thanksgiving your boss will text you a message saying "Happy Thanksgiving, thanks for the good work"

Cons

90% or over work to time off schedule. Very little support because so many people are quitting due to the low pay, compared to competitors. Tools and parts on at a premium and sometimes do not have enough to fill current jobs let alone new jobs. Medical was cut way down to save money. Some software is out of date and very difficult to work with compared to other companies.

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
