Pros

Pay and benefits allow you to live comfortably.

Cons

Good ole boy system is the governing structure that controls this organization. If you are a minority, meaning non-Caucasian, it will be very difficult to advance in this corporation or expand your talent and skills beyond what you were hired to do if you don't know anyone with a higher position within the company. If you have no other options, be the best at what you are hired to do with this company and you won't have to worry about harassment or being fired, it is smart and intelligent individuals at the lower levels that allow this company to give returns to stock holders and stake holders while making profits every quarter. The Directors and Managers are not business competent, but they are experts at recognizing smart, quite, executioners that strive to be the best without taking credit. These are the silent movers of this organization.

Pros

Benefits are adequate but not great.

Cons

They rarely promote from within. They require degrees for Director and Management positions but there are people without even an Associate's as Managers (and with no RR experience) because they are a friend of a VP, etc. If you are good at something they will not promote, they will just add an additional responsibility with no pay raise. If you are a minority your chances of moving up are even less.
