Pros
Salary, benefits, generous employee discount, brand name reputation, learned a lot
Cons
The leadership in IT starting from the top caused a big decline over the last several years and has created a toxic culture and stressful work environment. They no longer value loyalty of people who have worked there for so many years, while others who get rewarded and promoted aren’t always the most talented. Many long term employees have been pushed to the sidelines and will eventually be managed out in due time. We have lost some really good talent because of poor leadership. Things used to be much better years ago before everything became so political. It is not the place it used to be. The company had a layoff last year due to COVID, but it was mainly used as an excuse to clean house of long term employees that they wanted to push out. While some positions were truly eliminated, several other job openings were simply reposted online to rehire new people for similar roles. They basically made slight modifications to the title and job description to make the job look different, but in reality the role was basically the same.
