Pros

Great place to work. Many of the people I work with have become some of my best friends. Very laid back atmosphere and a large emphasis on family and personal life.

Cons

Whatever pay you get hired in at, expect to keep that salary for quite a few years. They are pretty slow to pass out promotions or salary increases. They say they have a performance based increases and bonuses, but they tend to treat everyone the same. This is a dream job for a person who doesn't like to accomplish much.

Pros

Pay and benefits here are very good in comparison with peer groups. The workforce is friendly and helpful and very loyal. Plenty of flexibility in schedule for family emergencies. Company is getting better about allowing flexibility of work schedules and tele-commuting but still has a long way to go.

Cons

Promotions are decided within tight management groups and decisions are then announced. Frequently no open access to opportunity for others. Management often does not take meaningful action against managers, directors and executives who rule by intimidation, even when formal complaints are registered.
