Pros

Well known, branded company. Great company culture with summer Fridays, a nice PTO package (varies according to level), fun events at work including a summer and holiday party. Lots of groups to join, depending on your interest (basketball to video games).

Cons

High level of distrust within the Strategic Sourcing and Procurement department between the department head and rest of the group. The culture within the company does not extend to this department such as work from home. No promotion potential - rather than promote from within when an opportunity arises, the department would rather hire externally. No transparency provided to the team. Communication is horrible. As a result, most are afraid of being let go (20% of the department was laid off a year ago, with new contractors and employees replacing those individuals on the SAME day).

Pros

Good Benefits - Get the week of the fourth of July and the week of Christmas off every year.

Cons

They say we are doing well but everyone is stagnant. No real opportunities to get promoted or raises. Gone through 3 layoffs. Management says that no one is leaving because they love working there but no one is leaving because the market is bad. That is the reason for a backlog of folks trying to move up.
