Pros

The people who actually do the work are great

Pros

Great benefits, good pay, lots of perks

Cons

Management is grappling with how to compete in markets that were regulated for more than 100 years. Company will continue to downsize as it deals with shrinking margins and high overhead. Senior management makes decisions based on extremely superficial analyses performed by outside consultants who have no clue about what they're doing.
