Pros

I met some wonderful friends

Cons

• Management isn’t interested in listening to lower level employees • Employees get severe blowback when speaking up - even when it’s asked. Expected to toe company line and take abuse with a smile. • Diversity efforts are a sham - upper management isn’t expected to attend trainings and refuse to see that issues exist in the company • Marketing efforts are firmly stuck in the 20th century

Pros

4 weeks of vacation plus holidays, good insurance, decent pension program, Knowing you're making a difference.

Cons

So. Much. Micro-management. Even as a vice president, you will make no decision that isn't second guessed by the CEO. HR is overly complicated and hiring practices are so rule-bound that quick hires are almost impossible. The people that are hired are all excellent and really good at their jobs but each decision they make is second guessed away until everyone has a sense of learned helplessness- nothing can be done quickly because it has to be run past the CEO before it can be implemented.
