Pros

Challenging technical job. Good pension and benefits. Good vacation time if you have the seniority, but that is a long road.

Cons

The division I work for, Aerospace SASS in Elgin, IL, Rampant micromanagement is the norm and there is a very strict hierarchal culture where those that do the creative and technical work are belittled. Creativity and empowerment are not encouraged.

Pros

Great benefits, 8% 401,k match, great health insurance

Cons

They do not pay men and women equal, they pay new hires more, they won't upgrade systems and expect employees to work 12+ hour days for close due to so many system limitations and the "robots" they have to post JEs are the bane of all accountants.... Why we have to wait 2-8 hours for a JE to post is a joke. Their work around is to have someone in another country work even longer hours to post it manually....you are a machine not a person to them.
