Pros

There are good benefits and it is a very stable job. You can learn a lot on the job.

Cons

Always a lot of pressure to do more with less. There is no consideration for your life outside of work. There is no benefit for actually working smarter. If you have to work a storm or go above and beyond for a special project that isn't apart of your job they do not reward you in any way. They expect that anything they want goes.

Pros

Health Care and 401k packages are good. - Their PPO plans are highly subsidized compared to anywhere else in the local area. - Matched 401k packages 50% up to ~10-15% of yearly salary. Fiscally Conservative Company Its a very stable job. It is very difficult to fired from this company unless it is an ethical issue

Cons

Compensation for employees is not great. You get paid what you get paid. Unfortunately, this has the potential to breed complacency in the workforce. Most of the technical work is contracted out. Supervisors/Managers become excel sheet managers and production trackers. There is some history of bad relations between Union and Management and making it difficult for both to come together to work. There can be antagonistic attitudes while there. New employees find may find this dynamic very awkward and will spend a lot of time navigating this issue. IT infrastructure and server speed could be improved. Network memory is small (circa 2009) making it difficult to share information (ie photos, documents, related media for work) Fiscally Conservative Company. Most of my time was spent finding the least expensive way of doing things and then seeing if I could make it even less expensive
