Pros

There are some very good Team members. Large company so benefits are likely above average for this industry.

Cons

Very Sr. Mgmt heavy. The Org chart is very complicated and in cases more a matrix which can cause confusion and conflicts. Too many mgmt layers to go through to get to a quick decison. Tend to let good, skilled employees go who have been in the industry for a long time who are typically mid-mgmt and below yet continue to increase the number of positions above mid-mgmt.

Pros

Lunch once in a blue moon

Cons

Antiquated employees that only offer abuse, disparaging and abusive behaviors towards others, disrespectful atmosphere, and use others as scapegoats. If you want to work for a company that only cares for themselves and is not a team atmosphere, work here. At your own risk of losing your job when you work hard and make your boss look like a lazy butt. If I could give a zero or negative score I would. The company needs a major overhaul of its management and organization. Anyone below is referenced as subordinates. No respect. Period.
