Pros

Can be a good place to work if you can find a way out of claims

Cons

Overworked, underpaid. Incompetent leadership who will ask quarterly what they can do better but never take the advice. They want employees to stay about 5 years or less so that they are only ever paying entry level salaries with a few yearly merit increases. You will not be valued as an employee; you’re nothing more than a metric on a report. They might start you at $3-5K higher than average and call it “competitive” but they expect a 50-55hr workload to be completed in 40 hours or less because leadership is too cheap to pay for overtime. When you try to explain those expectations are unrealistic, you’re fed the corporate jargon dictionary—whatever their quarterly slogan is. Internal promotion is all about your connections and senior management especially are constantly bouncing around departments, never learning anything just staying long enough to mess things up.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
