"Too Big to Fail"

Anonymous employee

Pros

Competitive Pay Bonuses EVERY year Good stock purchase program Diverse workforce Safety Focused (mostly in the office) Decent Benefits 9/80 Work Schedule

Cons

They rank/compare you to your peers all over the world (how you fare vs everyone else determines your bonus and their view of your current estimated potential). HR is a joke and they don't have diverse upper level managers. They talk about safety in the workplace a lot, but there are operations going on where people get shot at... But when that happens they keep it on the hush and don't protect people. And I've had to work on almost every Friday off with no substitutions (counted as a loss on my end).

Constant re-organization, outsourcing jobs, the structure of 4-year job assignment slowing down the career movement, lack of opportunities to move up in career ladder
