Pros

Great work/life balance, staffed well, friendly co-workers, 401k with match up to 8% (4% added over that by employer), and a pension on top of it. Benefits like free company gyms all over San Diego, good cafeterias, and even a GA pool near Torrey Pines.

Cons

Because of the work/life benefits, pension, etc people rarely leave. That results in few places to advance in some departments like project management and engineering, due to the number of employees competing.

Pros

The new director is awesome and the new supervisors are great. GA does alot for employees like pension and bonuses once a year

Cons

Your not treated with respect at all no one cares about you only what you can do for them. NO advancement at all unless your their best friend! Once you start don't plan on going anywhere but where you are. They make you wonder why you choose to do this because if the way your treated here. Very depressing place to work. HR is not good at all here! You makes this place millions and to be treated like crap. You may think your doing good but after a few years you'll see you never are allowed to grow in the company your held back from advancing just do their friends get in you'll always be to the bottom. They say one thing to you and always do different. A company you'll never go any where with. They'll always start new people out making more than you'll ever make. Just a place that makes you feel like a nobody even tho you have35 years experience.
