Pros

The group I worked in was very supportive of each other as we developed new products, processes, systems or procedures. Management was engaging and truly interested in feedback, suggestions or ideas from employees. You could ask questions or give answers all with the ultimate goal of what was best for our customers and company.

Cons

Union positions are driven by senority only. The most qualified employees were not necessarily the ones promoted or spared from a lay off which weakens the company as a whole.

Pros

overall good place to work. The people are great and from what I've heard the compensation is getting better.

Cons

high stress. Demanding. The new company seems to be focusing too much on the customer and forgetting about the employees. It went from a great place to work with great opportunities to working in a cubicle and feeling like a number.
