Frustrating Fortune 100

Business Outlook

Pros

Big company that has lots of discounts for employees due to partnerships. Decent benefits and vacation. Lots of opportunity within the company.

Cons

Constantly laying off employees and terrible communication regarding what's happening with the company including (and especially) mergers. Hearing more about the company from the media than from management. Difficult to get HR and hiring managers to recognize that skills can transfer to jobs in different departments.

Business Outlook

Pros

Reliable and traditional company, Midwestern work environment, good pay and benefits. Good for people out of school or with little work experience.

Cons

Traditional culture has its issues also. The informal people networks are formed over the years, and it is hard to break into. Mid-career outsiders may last about 5 years, but do not usually stay for the the rest of their careers.

Business Outlook

Pros

Overall co-workers are nice. Benefits are good especially for senior management and for people who have been with company for 20+ years.

Cons

Large number of senior employees who are waiting to retire. Not an stimulating environment for younger employees. Interns were hesitate to accept positions with company,. Little or no growth potential unless you know key management people personally. When team members tried to transfer in an attempt to grow and move up, transfers were denied leading to high turn over.
