Vantaggi
Community-service oriented, membership organization with its own revenue stream. Fiscally stable, one of the few companies with a pension you know will be there when you retire. Strong work-life balance culture. Great benefits - 4+ weeks off per year, plus 10 holidays, volunteer days, wellness programs, pension, 6% matching 401(k), lots of community service opportunities. You can also feel good at the end of the day knowing the company is about providing security for their members.
Svantaggi
Part of its upside of being so stable is that it is slow to change. Definitely going through some big changes right now which will shake things up but there are many people who have worked there for 25+ years. This can be both a good and bad thing.
