Pros

Benefits are great, retirement benefits used to be amazing. They used to have a very lucrative pension on top of a 7% 401k match. If you don't care to climb the ladder, you can have great work life balance.

Cons

Benefits have been dwindling ever since new CEO took over. PTO is horrendous. Definitely not up to speed with other major companies. They won't fire anyone but instead go through massive layoffs frequently. You can't really trust anything upper management says. They aren't transparent at all.

Pros

Benefits are better than most companies - great matching, HSA, pensions, and bonuses. The culture was great too, middle management was a pleasure to work with.

Cons

It’s easy to get stuck in one position if you’re a high performer. Seemed like if you’re good at your job you get stuck there while others get a lot more mobility. The options I had to move were all within the same sphere, great if you like what you are currently doing but not so much otherwise. Also, expect a re-org every 2-3yrs, change can be good but it was often disruptive during my tenure.
