Pros

Cons
They talk the talk about caring about families, and how if you work hard and show results you will be rewarded...but the reality is very different. Many long term, loyal and productive employees are cast out just to save money - especially if they are approaching their 15 year mark so they won't have to pay out pension. Hours are insane and there is absolutely NO work/family balance. Many unqualified people seem to move up and up, while others get cast away without a moment's thought. If you are sticking around for that "long term payout" of pension and benefits...beware, as the closer you are to that point, the more at risk you are of being let go when they "reorganize" yet again!
