Pros
Suburban, campus setting, bonuses for all-employees in strong years.
Cons
Bizarre, insular, self-defeating geek-ocracy that selects/promotes managers based on cultural "fit" (i.e., extreme casual dressing, 'geeky' college majors (computers, engineering), collegiate work ethic) rather than competency, leading to a near-hopeless situation for normal leaders and even worse for average line workers. Why do they attract employees, you ask? The employment situation in NE Ohio, horrible long before the so-called financial crisis hit, makes Prog, National City (now defunct) or KeyCorp (cf. recent dividend cut) the only games in town, so the Big P gets the nod due to the suburban campus setting and impossibly large "gainshare" bonus potential in good years. Sporting a 7:45 a.m. to 4:10 p.m. typical work schedule (due to the completely casual attitude and oversight) that includes 1 1 /2 hour lunches plus another 45 min. in the on-site fitness center (yes, even for managers), with an "entrepreneurial" mindset that translates into most e-mails left unanswered and meetings starting 20 minutes late, if at all, most competent professionals will tune out before hitting the 6-month mark, as any attempts to change work practices, culture or professionalism will hit with a loud 'thud' against the inherent, morbid fear of top-down structure of ANY KIND (this includes true project management, proposal evaluation, resource management, etc.), leading to a constant, mindless churning of structure (matrix to silo back to matrix, centralized to decentralized and back again, etc.) that, while certainly creating "activity", is nothing more than executive-sponsored, companywide procrastination or, put more simply, zero leadership.
