Pros

Good healthcare, but will be changing. Stable company, lots of opportunities to change jobs if needed. You can apply for many jobs across the company.

Cons

Not always a respectful work environment. Some employees are given preferential treatment based on their connections, which school they went to or who their relations are. If you go to HR with issues, be prepared to be put under a microscope by your manager.

Pros

Company investing in new products and higher growth markets

Cons

Over the past five years, there has been a significant decline in employee loyalty and incentive programs. Equity compensation, such as stock options and RSUs, was previously accessible to mid-level managers but is now strictly reserved for directors and above, reducing long-term incentives for a large portion of the workforce. Additionally, an increase in micromanagement and administrative red tape—particularly regarding strict scrutiny on all spending—has hindered productivity. The frequent practice of cutting budgets to meet short-term quarterly Operating Income (OI) targets is ultimately compromising our long-term revenue growth.
