Pros

It's essentially impossible to under-perform, which means you'll never get fired as long as you don't violate legal or extreme ethical restrictions. There are lots of places to transfer within the corporation if you're needing a new perspective. They love having loads of management, so if you want to be a manager, you will undoubtedly get your chance if you focus on that path.

Cons

The relaxed and comfortable environment breeds less competitive performance. The very restricted environment smothers innovation in bureaucracy and red tape. HR seems content with minimal effort to retain talent, and even less effort to leave an impression on departing employees that would entice them to ever return.

Pros

Every other Friday off if you are not working the weekends and nights 401k match is ok but the pension is gone Some training if you can get it approved You don’t have to work if you praise management 20% of the people work the rest rely on them to take credit for their work Lots of good people work here most of them on pensions and close to retirement

Cons

If you work hard other will take credit for our work. Diversity can be overly sensitive but fair The Silos can really make teams fight each other in IT and other business functions Long hours with no OT pay equals McDonald wages with your small bonus if u get one Their raises are more like cost of living increases The pay is much less then the industry average by 15-20% less Military rules and way too many managers not enough workers in RMS
