Pros
Very knowledgable and a great group of co-workers. The contract of the top executive is up at the end of the 2013.
Cons
I have been with this company for 5 years. Here is a history of the merit increase for the corporate staff over my tenure: Year one a 3% increase; year two a 2.5% reduction (but were were given an extra week vacation to offset the reduction), year three no merit increase, year four a 2.5% increase then a one week furlough, year five (2013) no merit increases. But I should consider myself lucky as I only received a one week furlough. Some corporate employee were forced to take two or three weeks of furlough over this same time period. Overall, my take home pay has decreased from day one due to a significant increase in the employees share of the health benefits and what I detailed above.
