Vantaggi
- stable company, won't get laid-off and really difficult to get fired (which can also be a bad thing depending on the associate because there are times when people need to be let go) - always get a Christmas bonus and usually receive a profit sharing bonus once or twice a year - full benefit package - never bored, they always keep me busy in my dept.
Svantaggi
- very old-school culture * professional dress is required at all times * changes, enhancements, etc. often have to run through layers of management to get approved * perception is very important * expected to arrive early, do not be even a minute late or you will be reprimanded * have many unnecessary meetings - pay is very low compared to industry - many associates in management around the company are not fit for management * some were good at their jobs so they were promoted to management, even though they have no idea how to mentor and lead people * some associates just "put in their time" and got promoted because of seniority * lack of leaders and mentors in management seems to be a problem is many areas of the company, especially in IT
