Pros

The organization is a great company to add to your resume. Although they are streamlining to remain afloat in this economy, they still remain on top. Good benefits, although use to be a lot better. Great company to launch your career.

Cons

Politics. There are things in the organization that is unfair and very subjective. The organization claims to stand by its CREDO but I can recall many instances where the mission statement of the company was not being lived. Politics can make you or break. Tons of rumors in the work environment which can decrease the professionalism. I recommend working for HQ in NJ if you can.

Pros

Effort to compensation ratio for craft employees is hard to beat. 401k match is in company stock, always pays a dividend.

Cons

1st line management lives in total fear of the endless RIF parade. Changing technological picture clouds 5 year plans. Management vs. Union mentality is prevalent from both sides. Senior craft employees are, generally, motivationally impaired & obstinate. Employee morale at chasm level. Operations decisions being made by accountants.
