Pros

- The current organization allows you to move around to different projects much easier than at other companies and managers do take personal interests into consideration. - The company has cared about the health of its employees through the pandemic and its actions have shown this. - The majority of people around you are skilled and competent at their jobs. - Depending on where you work in the company the work life balance is good. - The work site in Tucson, AZ allows ample opportunity to network in your career.

Cons

- Recent major cuts to long term employees who are counting on their company pensions. Does not paint a good picture of what company loyalty gets you long term here. - If you have less than 10 years of experience it is very hard to find someone who will help you develop any type of leadership skills. - Recent, pay grade contraction to push back promotions. It has become a lot more competitive to get raises and promotions in general. - Recent cutbacks to health benefits. - Current outlook is that merger culture will slowly become an environment where management is happy if there is a person in a chair rather than matching talent to where they best fit. - Certain benefits the employee has access to are limited by who your manager is. Some will not allow you to use certain benefits.

Pros

9/80 and every 2nd Friday off, generous vacation time.

Cons

The company is 100+ years old and functions almost entirely on inertia. Senior Management is totally disconnected from the day to day, and it shows in the content of their "community" video meetings. They talk about diversity but have no interest in applying it. Most of the time they totally ignore the needs of their disabled employees.
