Max workload, little reward or recognition.

Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent benefits and a very good clinic on site that will see you even for non-work related illnesses.

Cons

Work your fingers to the bone and get little recognition. Bonuses were often 1 percent,maybe 1 and a half. Promotions seemed to go to boot lickers, or those favored because they socialized with management at the bar or out on the golf course after work.
