Vantaggi

The job security is a pro, it seems the turn over right is high so if you suck it up...you should be fine.

Svantaggi

The company changed so much with the recent retirement of the CEO and "merger" into the new world. They open up bidding for vacations in January and you are to input the days you want off for the remainder of the year...who does that? I have some things planned out but not my full year in advance. This in turn leaves every Friday and Monday for the rest of the year unavailable because people snatched those up fast. You cannot even look to extend your weekend with the days off you've earned because of this. Previously your scheduled shifts were only 6 months long and you would bid for another shift after the 6 months were up. Now they are permanent and if you get late shift, you are stuck with it FOREVER (Sandlot style). You have the availability to swap days with someone but that's like pulling teeth because nobody wants to work late. They cut down on the daily huddles but they review your metrics constantly, it's difficult to provide good customer service when you are rushed to finish/wrap things up. It's led to an environment where people try to cut corners or complete the easy tasks to pad their numbers on the board. Speaking of the board, its almost like in Kindergarten, your numbers are green (good), blue (ok but not there yet), and red (tisk tisk) - the boards are laid out for everyone to see. The recent changes have caused people to quit, retire early, or go to a competitor.

Vantaggi

(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

Svantaggi

(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
