Pros

Compensation is hourly and some positions are eligible for overtime. This is rare in certain fields, like IT, which makes it a great bonus. There is a lot of opportunity for development of problem solving skills. Middle management is very understanding and works hard for their direct reports. Certain divisions are more desirable than others.

Cons

Leadership shows absolute disregard to employees. As a result, morale is low and attrition is high. Slow to react to internal and external feedback. Benefits package is lacking in all respects, especially with regards to health insurance and bonus plan. Many employees are overworked and underpaid for their respective professions. Hiring is a hassle: new positions are opened and closed without seeming justification. Frequent headcount actions blamed on "economic conditions." There is little to no feedback on performance, nor is there a clear plan for growth or development of employees.

Pros

If you get the right position, it is a very secure job. Some of the engineers and other folks have been around for 20 years. Also the company has a monopolistic position in its industry, there isn't much it can do to screw things up completely.

Cons

Very hide-bound, almost impossible to get anything done. This was the slowest moving company I have ever seen. It took about 6 weeks to do the same task that took 6 days in my last company. There are no processes either. Much of the secret to getting anything done is to sweet-talk the one person who knows how to use the system.
