Pros

salary for management is pretty good, but it's the one and ONLY positive thing I can find to include in this list- if life weren't so expensive, i'd leave sooner rather than later... but leave i will

Cons

- it's not about WHAT you know in order to move up; it's about WHO you know- matter of fact, the best way to move up is to foul up super badly - employees are regarded as numerical assets rather than living breathing people - you get attention only when you've brought negative attention down on them (senior management); rare is the congratulatory word on a job well done

Pros

Good pay and benefits. Work is challenging.

Cons

Weak lower and middle management - they only care about their own careers. Poor morale. UP went down hill after Jim Young passed away.
