Pros

There are many great, hard working people here, who are willing to work long overtime hours to support their internal and external customers. Wage are high at a corporate level, but you more than earn it.

Cons

Work/life balance is horrible, especially in IT. IT is underfunded, so most people have to work around the clock. No work/life balance in IT. A few leaders have created a "bullying" culture, leading with fear and intimidation. Most people just keep their heads down. After hiring freezes and layoffs, those that remain have to do the work of 3-5 people and are shown little to no appreciation or support by a few of the key IT leaders. Those who have been faithful for many years are the first to be let go when layoffs come around. Few to no long term incentives or investment in people or training. HR is extremely weak. No real strategy for growth other than to continue buying more companies and bolt them into a fragmented IT architecture that isn't designed to support it.

Pros

Overall, it’s a really good company—probably some of the best benefits in the industry, and that’s one of the main reasons I chose to work here.

Cons

My advice to anyone considering it: be careful about the promises you’re made during the hiring process. Make sure everything is put in writing, and make sure it’s exact—your position, job description, responsibilities, and what is expected of you. Things can change. If the person who hired you leaves or moves on, the person who replaces them may see things differently and change everything. That can include doing away with the position you were hired for and moving you into a completely different role—one you may have never left your previous job to take in the first place.
