Business Outlook
Pros
Benefits are excellent and employees stay many years. Can have a good work/life balance. Good people. Often opportunities to move around. Some excellent managers. Try to enforce an ethical culture.
Cons
Bureaucratic, union environment with strong sense of entitlement among many employees. If your boss doesn't like you, can make it difficult to move laterally or get a promotion, regardless of review ratings. Poor performers with connections or other qualities are not demoted, and there are many supervisors/managers who should not be in their positions. Mediocre performance is rewarded if you know how to manage up.
