Pros

Good salary and benefits. If you work hard and flaunt your accomplishments, making your boss look good, you can get recognized. They are trying hard to foster employee retention and growth, so you're encouraged to develop your skills through classes outside of work and to apply to other positions within.

Cons

Lots of repetitive discussions about solutions to a problem can just postpone its implementation.

Processes have been getting simpler, but they still exist and can be a pain.

Some dead sticks in the water (bad employees).

Long hours and some weekend work are a reality.

Advice to Management

Good job in many areas. Be less political and more objective to build morale.
