Great place for consultants and sales

Pros

Very good pay and benefits. Once you're hired on, it's a fairly stable long-term career (i.e. you really have to screw up to get fired).

Cons

IT resources are being managed very poorly for the last few years. We are hemorrhaging money trying to implement SAP as the future of the business. Meanwhile, no interest is being shown in maintaining the mainframe environment that will keep the company alive until SAP is deployed.
