      Good place to work, made far better by co-workers but made worse when company went public.

      Pros

      Large company with a number of areas to advance your career. Good benefits including defined benefit pension. Good people to work with. Availability to interact with senior management on a regular basis.

      Cons

      Salary targets at lower end of spectrum for comparable jobs at other companies. Too many vice presidents at this company. Just doing what is needed to get by is rewarded far too much and going above and beyond not rewarded enough at this company.

      Some of the entry level positions are very numbers-driven and unrealistic on time demands. It can be very stressful to work here
