Pros

Benefits are good. Other employees and workers are great. Might be good to start you career here but do not over stay.

Cons

No advancement. Salaries have been frozen since 2016 with no change for another year. Morale has been low for years. Management has no vision. Company does not value employees even though they say otherwise. Manipulative middle managers. Absentee executives and managers. Aggressive HR and managers will make you life hell if they decide they do not like you. Could not give less than one star.

Pros

Great benefits, including a defined benefit pension plan; focus on work-life balance; non-management employees are genuinely helpful.

Cons

And you'd think with the name of the company the organization would be innovative in their management style and approach? Au contraire! Very bureaucratic and lots of backroom discussions happening at the top, especially between the CEO and HR.
