Pros

Office workers usually can get flex time

Cons

Benefits were cut dramatically during my decades there. There is institutionalized discrimination against older workers, done shrewdly enough to pass court tests by targeting high job grades rather than older age workers. The only way to get into those grades is by working your way up, so the higher grades have older people in them. It's a crooked way of dealing with people who have given their lives and careers to build the company.

Pros

Easy going, nice benefits, free further education (masters/PhD). Great for an engineer starting out who needs to dip their feet in the pool of engineering for a few years and to get a great 401(k) match at the start of your career (compounding growth). Great for late stage career due to the benefits and solid enough pay in a low cost of living area

Cons

pay-scale lagging, no emphasis on learning new things, no punishment for people who are bad at their job. After working for 4 years, I feel like I should have jumped ship after 2. I haven't been given meaningful work that really challenges me in a while. Now I feel pigeonholed into staying because I have enough years of experience that I really should be considered senior, but I haven't been given work that reflects what I senior engineer should be capable of. Now I'm trying to jump ship before it's really too late. If I stay here another 2 years I think I will be genuinely unemployable and will have to stay at this company forever.
