Pros

Overall pay is good, education assistance offered for “some”. Opportunities for those who want to transfer. Health insurance, 401k match, vacation time, seem to be better than most.

Cons

Unethical company, cares only for bottom line number. They will do anything to make that number. Employees are last on the list of importance. Customers treated poorly and not paid in a timely manner. This company believes they are superior to all. Work/ Life balance is awful.

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
