Pros

A market leader still. Still some great veteran employees but the numbers are dwindling. Decent pay and benefits.

Cons

Vision and any type of long term plan have been sacrificied to hit short term financial goals at practically any cost. Employees have become disposable assets.

Pros

My specific department is pretty organized and has good depth of retention/knowledge. Easy Job with little instruction required and little supervison.

Cons

All other departments within company are highly unorganized and dont work well together. No one is ever on the same page- which is to sevice cusotmer. Plus the upper managment has no clue what is going on at the bottom, they ask us for feed back and we give it and nothing happens.
