Pros

401k match is best in class, RSU’s for Director levels and up, VP’s get stock options on top of RSU’s and if you work at corporate, there’s a barista on-site. Annual bonus usually exceeded your target bonus. Top notch pay and benefits.

Cons

It’s a soul sucking environment. Management touts all the best employer awards but the reality is there’s a revolving door of talent. It’s a beautiful corporate environment but you see floors of sad professionals huddled in hip-looking hotel cubes looking at endless Power BI dashboards or with earbuds sitting on a Teams call with other members two desks away. You’ve got an odd mix of 20 to 30 year tenured folks who have figured out the game of sticking around, running down the game clock and doing little impactful work mixed with early career folks with 2 to 3 year tenures who are happy to be with a Fortune 500, excited about free coffee and haven’t yet figured out that this company just hires a new consulting company every time they need a new direction. I was there four plus years and I saw at least 2 re-orgs. The pay and benefits are amazing until you realize the culture, people and mission is just not worth your time, energy or mental bandwidth.

Pros

The low level employees are generally good people that got hired into the current mess.

Cons

Bedford Park plant is suffering from 15 years+ of neglect. The plant is literally falling into the ground as the incredible amount of leaks are dissolving the ground under the foundations. Union contract is strange and puts a large burden on the salary staff to "run" the plant. Corporate is currently in the plant in force running a shadow management team undermining all efforts of the actual plant management.
