Pros
- Stability and decent benefits. - Moderate work/life balance. - 6% 401k match after 5 years. You won't get rich, but will definitely keep a job. Longevity is not a benefit here, most come to get training and leave for hire paying jobs. Those who stay are not paid competitively and therefore don't benefit from their commitment to the company.
Cons
There appears be a huge difference in promotability and pay between cultures. From what I have noticed, they hire persons of color, but after 10-20-30 years most have only promoted into lead / senior type roles, rarely into officer level positions. Those roles are typically given to non-minorities within their first 1-5 years with the company. Your work experience / recognition largely depends on the department/manager - not necessarily your work product or work ethic.
