Pros

Competitive pay, good benefits - particularly for those who were hired 20 or more years ago.

Cons

Toxic culture driven by a fear of lawsuits so unqualified women and minorities are continuously promoted into leadership positions. This creates a vicious cycle of bad decision making and more and more incompetence reaching the highest levels of the company.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
