Pros

It is a warm environment with friendly people, fair pay, it is rather family-like for a big company. Personable, approachable senior leadership. Annual reviews are coupled with a raise for most people. Hard to get fired-it's okay to be average... (also a con)

Cons

Top-down management culture, micromanagers are born and raised here. Lack of decision making and independent thought. Ideas die everyday because they are taken up the chain by someone else, usually by a "yes-man" who cares more about having the right answer than getting behind you. If you don't have a title you have no voice. They move ineffective managers to lame duck positions, fail to hold people accountable for results, slow to fire. Good-intentioned upper management suffers from inbreeding, they don't know what they don't know.

Pros

Easy job to do if you’re halfway smart and actually try.

Cons

Low salary compared to other companies. Raise your concerns with this or anything else and management basically blackballs you for any opportunity for growth. You can do twice as much work as some of your co-workers and still get the same measly 3% annual raise. You’re better off coasting through the job rather than giving 100% effort. The harder you work, the more responsibilities they give you without any monetary compensation.
