Pros

Pay was on time. My desk had a chair most of the time. Food trucks outside regularly.

Cons

- Impossible to get hardware from IT. - Waited 2 months for necessary system access. - Managers don't understand your work, and will make no effort to do so. - Pay is middling at best. "Raise" well below inflation, and "bonus" of pennies while the company sends emails boasting about record profits. - A couple good ol' boys run the show, and everyone else is terrified of them. - Sexist remarks made openly in program-wide meetings are ignored and/or endorsed. - Talking at times is unsafe or well outside of the scope of your position. Zero accountability for management. - Zero diversity in my program. - "The facility never closes" policy, which often necessitates employees driving in harsh and unsafe winter conditions. - No work from home capability.....unless you're a mAnAGeR. - Outright refusal to offer upskilling or cross-training. They would rather hire new, unsuspecting people than play nice with local area training resources and offer legitimate career development.

Pros

Not much pros but talented coworkers.

Cons

I joined expecting a long-term career and initially had a positive experience. Unfortunately, the culture changed significantly after leadership transitions. Micromanagement increased, decision-making became highly centralized, and employee morale steadily declined. Many experienced employees and managers left during my time there, making it difficult to maintain continuity and trust within the organization. The work itself was meaningful, and I had the opportunity to support important projects with talented colleagues. However, recognition, career growth, and employee retention did not appear to receive the same level of attention as process, reporting, and management oversight. My layoff was communicated as unrelated to performance, which was appreciated. However, after years of contribution and institutional knowledge, the overall experience left me feeling that employees were viewed as replaceable rather than valued long-term assets.
