Pros

Friendly Co-workers Great Benefits Lots of Time off Flexible Schedule

Cons

Middle Managers aren't very strategic Lots of deadweight - managers turn a blind eye to lazy incompetent workers Doesn't recognize or reward hard working employees 100% of the job is done by 30% of the people Doesn't promote or foster career development Managers tend to micromanage and doesn't look at the big picture or even bother to think strategically. Promotions happen because of who you know not because of "what you can do" Low compensation compared to the industry
