      Pros

      Higher than average pay plus benefits (they have to do this to bring/keep talent in central IL) - top company in a potentially profitable business

      Cons

      Disastrous strategy, good-old-boy executive & leadership culture...diversity is misinterpreted as promoting Australian men and young, inexperienced women...morale is plummeting and the outlook for the business is not good.

      Great company, but leadership severely incompetent

      Pros

      Best pay and benefits of any central IL company, without question. Incentive pay can be extremely good.

      Cons

      Leadership fails to see the value that IT can bring to the organization. I was part of a huge IT lay-off after nearly 25 years with the company where they cut 1/3rd of the IT staff. Keeping the IT org reporting up to the CFO is a huge mistake because he only sees numbers.
