Pros
The benefits package offered is by far one of the best in the city. Most employees are fairly compensated for the job they perform, particularly those employees just out of college. In most areas/departments, there is a sense of pride and teaming atmosphere. No doubt a result of the "close knit, family working conditions."
Kontras
There is definately a "glass ceiling" of sorts and a "good ole boy" mentality, particularly in organizations with a high percentage of middle aged white males. Some of the newer employees spend more time kissing up to leadership then they do meeting work committments. Unfortunately, those are the same individuals that rank high during performance appraisal time, and receive the larger raises. Upward mobility is stifiled.
