No advancement in certain departments

Business Outlook

Pros

The benefits are some of the best around

Cons

NO true advancement opportunities in certain departments, unless you are friends with the right people. In certain departments, when you are hired in, you do not advance in your career, you will sit in the same position the entire time you are with the company. If you do an outstanding job and know what you are doing, you will never leave the department unless you quit...and good luck making a decent amount of money, you will be paid less than others doing your same job.

Under-utilizes their employees and lots of micro-managers

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits, paid time to volunteer, medical, dental, vision, but those are getting worse each year, giving employees a little less and a higher co-pays in exchange for no premiums.

Cons

Lots of organization structure changes! Trying to make things more efficient when in turn changing a group's dynamic or job function without consulting or thinking of the damages of that group.
