Pros

Free lunch, do not expect restaurant quality. Food is very comparable to hospital food. Pension (only 1% * average 3 highest salaries * number of years worked). This is a nice benefit but shouldn’t sway someone to work here for a pension. It’s a very small pension benefit.

Cons

Stuck in another era. Attire is business professional with men wearing ties every day. The casual days permitted are “no ties”. Upper management doesn’t act on feedback at all. Over 90% of the company voiced in an associate survey that work from home flexibility is desired, CEO released a 6 minutes video basically stating that “company culture” is more important than work from home flexibility. The culture here is toxic. There is very little diversity. When a diversity policy was brought up to upper management, it was quickly rejected. The CEO boasts about the company financials and profits, but the employees don’t share in that (no bonuses). The company is losing associates in large numbers. The CEO made a statement along the lines of “stay with us and you’ll have a long career, it’s not a get rich quick option”

Pros

The company has strong financial backing (due to corporate greed) so you won't have to worry about them going under.

Cons

This company straight-up does not care about its employees. Some management cares, but the CEO is the most egotistical person I've ever met. He cares only about looking good and making rich people richer. The company is exceptionally conservative. They will dictate the length of your hair, how you dress, and anything else they can find to make you lose all sense of individuality. Only in the last few years did pantyhose stop being required by women. This company does not want you to have a work-life balance. They do not trust their employees to work from home. The general vibe and decor of the home office are dreary and sad. Many of the departments have either no windows at all, or windows only for management. If you are not mid-to-upper management you will be made to feel like a cog in the machine. Less than human. Only there to make the rich richer. PLEASE RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN.
