Pros

Many different career opportunities Great work-life balance Can't beat the job stability Total compensation package is great, especially these days (salary, performance cash, pension, 401k, healthcare, discounts, state farm park)

Cons

Many areas in Systems have incompetent employees who were put in their positions from other departments in the company, back in the 1990s. Instead of letting go of or moving these type of employees out of Systems, they are often just moved around from team to team. This causes more knowledgeable and driven employees to be unable to move into the Systems department where they would be more valuable. The company is often times very slow/conservative in decision making which causes them to lag behind the competition. However, this culture has begun to change in the last 3 years from the top down.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
