Pros

Very stable (natural gas will be here for a long time and its almost impossible to be let go), yearly bonus, generally friendly people, nice building downtown, 401K AND a pension (which is rare),

Cons

Lower than market pay, politics, old school, likes to hire from low ranked colleges (LaVerne, CalState), advanced education is not valued or required, bitter life long employees, no progression at all unless you jump around from department to department (its the only way to get ahead), your title will be very "junior" despite years of service -which is to your disadvantage if you look externally for a job,

Pros

There were so many opportunities when I first started ten years ago. Benefits were good but standard. HAD a great reputation of keep good employees.

Cons

All that changed last year when they laid off 2% of their workforce with no prior notice. Morale has gone down. Workload has increased. Upper management is known for conducting interviews while already knowing who they're already going to hire. The do the interviews so they can appear to be fair.
