Pros

Large company. It really depends on the team you are assigned. There is potential to move around and advance if you are in a good area.

Cons

Very political. You need to know the right people to move up. Reviews are inconsistent. Many areas will not work with you to achieve your goals.

Pros

Opportunity to work in different areas and learn different aspects of the business. Culture used to be good and stories of associates helping people were touching.

Cons

Can be very political. Culture is gone. Bad decisions by upper management and company seems to be floundering to find a direction. Regular layoffs have created terrible environment fraught with fear and uncertainty.

Pros

Decades ago the company really valued it's associates and empowered them to develop their business responsibilities around the customers wishes. Leaders challenged associates to "think outside the box" to exceed customers expectations.

Cons

As time progressed, cultural priorities became diluted when veterans retired or left the company. Sam believed, "you take care of the associates, they will make the numbers", now it's, "you make the numbers or we will get someone who will." It has become a "run the program" type of environment which is managed by exception. No job or career enrichment!
