Pros

The place has great benefits, including over 20 PTO days and 10 sick days. Health insurance is relatively cheap, too.

Cons

Since it is a public company, bonuses are dependent on earnings after they are paid out in dividends. They cut people left and right during times of poor revenues. No upward mobility, only management gets promotions.

Pros

Holidays off, okay pay, cross train in other areas that are needed

Cons

Managers, doesn’t keep advancement promises, always mentioning room for growth but when the opportunity presents itself they have an excuse for why right now is not a good time to move. Adds training for other departments that are short staffed but don’t compensate for all the different departments calls you are taking. Trying to take PTO is a pain, there are plenty employees so there should be no issues with taking time off
