Pros

- Benefits and work life balance

Cons

- Very political, more focus on who you know versus what you do - Leaders are afraid to improve as they are very risk adverse and stuck in the past - Leaders are all in self preservation mode and are primarily driven to maintain what they have versus doing the right thing - Short sighted leaders with no "balls" to speak of. Great place for spineless passive aggressive individuals to thrive. - Old school company (publicly says all the right things but privately worships the days of the past and remind me of a high school football player who longs for the days of old ) - Words are louder than actions - Value is placed on what you say and how you fit in versus what you do and how you perform - Lots of back stabbing at executive levels and a large number of disingenuous leaders - Massive egos at the executive ranks - Executives can be bought - not so much literally but figuratively. Again massive egos, if values and pride are nonexistent then the sky is the limit.

Pros

-For the most part, the people you work with are good people. Made real lifelong friends and mentors. -As with all large companies, there are plenty of opportunities to advance and/or move around if something isn't a good fit. -One of the rare places still offering a pention

Cons

-Office politics promote plenty of people who don't deserve it and the teams happiness is highly dependent upon who you end up reporting to -WAY too much false urgency created by bad leaders -Big company means slow moving in all the stuff you want to go fast. Often times too many cooks in the kitchen
