Pros

9/80 and pension. Great people at work

Cons

The pay is a little stiff and will take advantage once you're in. You need to really network around know a lot of inside people to get around. Upper management is very impulsive and jumps the gun too often. A lot of non experienced people come into the company with larger pay than ones who really do work hard for it. See lots of lazy people take advantage of the system. Seen people sleep at their desk, watch YouTube all day, on their phone and long breaks hours at a time.

Lots of structure, tools and resources to do the job.

Culture was like a Principal's office. Focus on little rules that overshadow overall work output.
