Pros

Very smart staff. Several business units give lower level employees the opportunity to move to new positions and roles

Cons

Some of the businesses can be silo-like. While staff is pretty motivated, morale at times can be low due to press and market events

Business Outlook

Pros

Job Security, Name Recognition, Good hours (at least in my role), Good Bonuses and Benefits

Cons

Upper Management make changes often without ever looking at efficiency of their employees. Little to no raises, poor management in general, no boost to employee morale. Work-horse mentality. Little to no job growth opportunities.
