Pros

The company provides good flexibility in balancing personal life with work demands. It is a reasonably low pressure environment but isn't zero. The benefits are very good including dollar for dollar matching up to 6% in the 401k. Also provides a company card which is worth $5000 in income. Turn over is low and overall longevity is extra volaordinarily high. This shows that employees are treated well. In the last couple of years the company has also encouraged employees to exercise. Probably the biggest reason for the company's stability is the mutual ownership so that we aren't subject to market volatility.

Cons

Limited opportunities for advancement. Because the company is stable and relatively flat there isn't much opportunity for upward movement.

Pros

* Great business model at the foundation * Solid compensation program: Base salary + bonus * Sustained high profitability over the long term * Stable employement * Pension Plan

Cons

* Extremely hierarchical and regimented * Promotions based on favortism rather than true merit. Employees are precategorized and stigmatized on their ability for future career progression. * Extremely focused on metrics and internal objectives. This leads to box checking, cutting corners and bending rules to meet the numbers. * Extremely heavy workload. No work-life balance. * Management doesn't really incorporate employee feedback; they pretend to to check a box. * Quality of job suffers to keep up with quantity. Everything is becoming data driven and the data is often wrong. Enormous pressure to hit a button and accept at face value whatever the system spews out. * Our CEO builds fancy gold plated office buildings that aren't needed and pulled the plug on hybrid work to justify the investment in the real estate.
