Vantaggi
My co-workers are great. The discounts associated with being an employee is good.
Svantaggi
There are a lot of rules that are broken all the time. They tell certain employees they must stay in a position for a specified ltime period before they can apply for other employment, but other employees they allow to post for other positions or they promote them to another position. They also tell certain employees they must have a degree to apply for certain positions, but other non-degreed employees can apply and get promoted to positions they stated must have a degree. There are some people they tell they can't apply for a position that are a couple levels above their current positions, but there are others they allow to do just that. The workload is heavy and they keep giving you more work. However, the pay does not match the work load. The 2008 pay raise was more than the 2009 pay raise. We were not told why the raise was lower, and it was not understandable since the company had such a great and profitable year. It was very confusing. Like so many other people have said, it would be great if the small people got a piece of the pie. I think all of the positions should receive a bonus or decent pay increase, when it's a profitable year. It would have been more understanding for the pay increase to be cut in 2008 rather than 2009. Oh, the pay increase is only good for a month, because your health insurance is going to eat that up in January. You are lucky if that's all, because sometimes the increase in health benefits takes part of the salary you were used to before the raise. Speaking on benefits, every year they cover less, but cost more. You are forced to chose between going to the doctor and paying your bills. Most doctor visits after co-pay will land you a mailed bill for services such as lab work. I also do not agree with the dress code. It's hard to be enthused with chanting the "Cheer" when there are so many things wrong with the Company. It's slavery all over again.
