Pros

Good benefits (health insurance, 401k)

Cons

1. Management does not actually care about early career employees. You can spend two years in the BCFP and then place out of the program into another entry level job 2. Salary is far below industry standards 3. Some pockets of extremely toxic work culture (i.e. backstabbing, coworkers who complain about those who take PTO because they have to backfill their work, micromanagement, distrust among teams, I could go on and on...) 4. The BCFP is a glorified early career program that promises participants an accelerated career track, but you will likely spend a year and a half doing administrative work (or doing no real work at all under the guise of "shadowing") 5. Program managers are either clueless or willfully ignorant of the program's shortcomings

Pros

Work-life balance has been great at the Long Beach site. My coworkers are very considerate and supportive. Benefits suck as parental leave and 401k, Roth 401k, and mega backdoor Roth make it so you can really get ahead in terms of retirement building. They are trying to get better in culture and performance rather than some companies that don’t even pretend to care. During the pandemic there was no training. Now there’s some!

Cons

Base pay can be slightly lower than other companies for specific skills. Each site and each organization within each site has its own culture depending on who is the VP/executive team. There are so many executives it’s hard to get things done. Things move very slowly.
