Pros

They can be flexible in terms of time off and hours, although this varies from dept to dept. Adequate benefits.

Cons

Functional departments have their own policies and their own HR, so benefits and policies are not always consistent from one to another. HR is there for the benefit of the department, and requests for help from them by an employee were ignored and not documented. A true "good old boys" network, very political, with long term managers who know the right people often unaccountable for actions that probably could have gotten them let go at other places. The culture is such that it's who you are "pals" with rather than what you can do. Salaries less than the competition, insurance with a low life-time maximum.
