Pros

Good pay, free parking, wonderful coworkers, large cubicles, cafeteria.

Cons

Management has unrealistic productivity expectations, and think excessive criticism and threats of termination are a way to get it. This is a high-stress job with a lot of turnover. Recently they lost 1/3 of the experienced staff, and the turnover with newly hired employees is even worse. I wouldn't recommend leaving a job and working here, but if you are unemployed, go for it.

Hello. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts and feedback here. It's good to read you're working in a nice team and that you feel well-compensated. That said, a healthy workload and environment are important to us, so if you feel there's room for improvement there I'd recommend to reach out to a HR representative about this.

Pros

I loved my co-workers. Good pay and benefits.

Cons

Re-organization. I saw many very talented and dedicated employees laid off in an attempt to save money. Throughout my tenure, we were constantly encouraged to recommend our friends or family for open positions. After seeing a couple rounds of layoffs, I am glad I never did. It would have been horrible to have a close friend or family leave their job to go to Phililps only to be laid off a few months later.
