Pros

Many opportunities to succeed. Advancement is up to the individual. Company is working hard on recognition of employees. Management is coming around to the needs of life/work balance. You will not get rich working here, but you will have a steady job.

Cons

Of course, salaries are below average for most, if not all, positions. Benefits package is slightly below average, but improvements are occurring in some areas.
