little opportunity for advancement

Pros

great people, benefits, work life balance

Cons

there is little to no opprotunity for advancement, unless you are moving into middle management through a reorganization. it is difficult to impossible to advance outside of your particular career track. even within a particular career track, it is difficuult to impossible to get a promotion with perpetual expense freezes. all increase in salary go towards the above mentioned increase in middle management during reorgs

Good place to learn by doing

Pros

Good for a first job but then you'll probably need to move on if you're ambitious as little prospect of getting genuine management experience

Cons

Minimal management interest in what you do day to day (yes, that may also be a pro but ...) High staff turnover (whole company not just regionally) and lack of clear direction from the top
