Pros

Benefits. That's it - health insurance, pension and 501(k) is all this company has going for it to remain competitive to their peers.

Cons

Recently announced they were going back to pre-COVID office policies and want everyone to return to office 5 days a week starting January 2024. They say they'll offer 1 flexible day working from home, but it's contingent on business needs and if your leadership approves it or not. They're shooting themselves in the foot with this rigid policy and will alienate younger talent from working at this old school company.
