Pros

- The level of compensation and benefits is very good. - The facility and work environment is excellent. - The company provides many amenities on site such as multiple very nice eating facilities, convenience store, coffee shop etc. - On site medical care including free examinations, flu shots etc. - The company has been in business 90 years, dominates its market and is very stable. - The company has top credit ratings from all agencies and is highly regarded by its customers

Cons

- The culture is VERY political and bureaucratic - The management style is very reactive. Rather than establish policies and procedures that avoid issues they let them occur and then have major emergency efforts to resolve them - There is a vast communication vacuum between management and those who actually get the work done. - There are way too many employees in the managment hierarchy for the total number of employees - The management structure is very hierarchical - The company has frequent management reorganizations

Pros

Great work life balance, good benefits, decent pay, ease of running your own practice as an “advisor”, and healthy work environment

Cons

Management styles can vary and affect your experience, upper management doesn’t seem to be well equipped to ensure the organization’s success but it is resilient nonetheless.
