Pros

Great co-workers. Decent benefits.

Cons

The bad news is the stress will ensure that you'll use every bit of your health benefits. Terrible, clueless leadership. The company has been going through a reorganization for 2 years and keeps tripping over itself in the process. They have no regard for employees as human beings. They are simply a commodity and an expense to be reduced at any opportunity. And then management wonders why they can never retain good talent. They have the most "ethics training" requirements I've ever seen, but they are incredibly unethical. People who have been with the company for 30+ years and have sacrificed themselves and time with family for the company are being made to reapply for their own jobs!
