Pros

Nice office at Domino Farms. Can work from home on occasion. Lots of online learning resources (RedBooks, etc.). Other job opportunities within this big corporation.

Cons

Cost-cutting measures: 401(k) payout only in December, no vacation day carryover, and benefits are not great. Low raises and no bonuses, even if your group does well. So many processes and procedures for daily activities.

Advice to Management

Compensate your employees better. The range of the salary "Band" is way too wide. If employees are good and score well on reviews, then don't keep them in the lower part of their band.
