Pros

Strong hires and wonderful coworkers. Great culture and increasingly inclusive. Family benefits are also improving and very competitive. Good retirement options. Satisfactory union involvement.

Cons

Rapidly changing and convoluted employee resource systems, software, and data input (payroll, goals/reviews, expense reporting, employee survey, and IT support/trouble tickets). Lack of advancement and training opportunities that are on the clock or across departments. Numerous communications that are challenging to glean useful information relevant to the employee.

Pros

I was fully remote, learned so much from a great group of peers, the union is strong and active, pay was fair

Cons

The federal funding saga put a damper on morale, but that was pretty outside of the scope of what my team/manager could control.

Cons

soulless and corporate, management is all-powerful, benefits are slowly disappearing, few career prospects unless you fit a certain "profile"
