Pros

Good schedule, 9/80. Pay is good. Opportunity to move around in company, not necessarily move up though. Benefits are excellent, except they don't offer the pension plan anymore. Great comaraderie with co-workers.

Cons

Company is privately owned, therefore nepotism is everywhere. Incompetent employees are protected because of this. A lot of bureaucracies, polictics and favortism. It's all about who you know and not making waves amonst management. Follow the chain of command, even if it's not the "right thing". Alot of people don't feel comfortable speaking up for wrong doings. Because it is a good job with good benefits, employees have learned to turn a blind eye, and hush their opinions.

Pros

9/80 work schedule. Benefits are decent. One of the few comapnies that offer a pension in addition to 401k.

Cons

Too many management layers. Promotions seem to be based on who you know, and if you fit into the right "clique". Some promotions are being given to managers with no experience in the function. Executuve leadership appears out of touch with their employees. Example - Chaotic games have been played the last 3 years with remote and hybrid work policies.
