Pros

Great work-life balance, good place to cruise. Can expect regular, be it small, raises. HSA available now. Great 401k policy.

Cons

Noncompetitive pay post-mid-level when compared to the tech space.

Terrible retention rates leading to brain drain and the "dead sea effect."

Lots of reliance on new grads and contractors.

Hard to promote, hard to get more than target bonus.

Advice to Management

Invest more in keeping senior talent around to reduce brain drain and the "dead sea" effect. Don't have promotion quotas; if people meet the bar, they should be allowed to advance, not held back for "budget reasons," especially if we are at record profits.
