      Performance Review System

      Pros

      Annual performance reviews are given and tracked by department to ensure the system was accessed. Good place to work for 10 - 12 years

      Cons

      Although the system was accessed there is absolutely no control over what is documented by your manager for your performance - no checks and balances. In addition, the performance reviews are NOT used when the directors gather to rank all exempt employees. Gut feel over the last few interactions are used. You can easily be ranked low against your peers and no one will protect you and you will not find out how you were secretly ranked until your merit paper is given to you. SURPRISE. Make sure you suck up to the Directors and your immediate manager. After 10-12 years you may be considered less 'shiny' than the new pennies that are brought in. A dull penny is easily discarded.

      Politics. Pay. Perception.

      Pros

      Good place to begin your career. Despite being in a sink or swim environment with very little training, you can and will learn a lot. Advancement is about who you know and how you are "perceived."

      Cons

      There is no equality in following policies. Some employees are allowed to do certain things and others are not. Employees are scared to utilize the corporate hotline because of the possible backlash but the company prides itself on treatment of others. The pay is well below average salaries for similar positions. Lots of favoritism, which can literally stop any and every attempt at advancement.

      Pros

      Benefits are not bad. For some, working environment is relaxed. Depending on your boss, you can take it easy when you need to. Fairly generous about some perks. Tuition, language learning, some goods

      Cons

      Old style. Hierarchy is very important. Meeting a senior manager without telling your boss gets you in trouble. In may departments, the immediate boss will CYA - not back you up. Mistakes are not treated as learning. Instead, they will be brought up at performance appraisal time, By the way, the annual appraisal is a joke. I know one employee who has cut and past from a document at least 5 years old! In another case, it was done retroactively - in May of the following year, after the 'merit' increases were already done.
