Great Benefits, Big Bureaucracy
Great Benefits, Big Bureaucracy
Great benefits are the number one reason to work here. We offer 90/10 health care, decent dental and eye benefits, and a good amount of time off (18 days the first year, then 20 days up until year 5, then 25+ days). There are also Beer Fridays and decent off-work activities.
Big company bureaucracy. Each business group feels like a separate company. Not extremely family-oriented, though somewhat understandable given the logistics.
Make sure management is doing their job! Delegation is a wonderful thing, but sometimes it feels as if certain managers (unnamed) delegate so as to lessen their workload. They get paid more for their responsibilities, so they should not put them off on their "underlings."
