Pros

Stable environment. You can probably work here as long as you want.

Cons

Very few options for individuals to move up internally. I watched a few years ago as a manager left our group without a backup. A subordinate did the job (better) for 6 months. No substantial compensation was given and the position was given to an external hire. I've seen this happen a few times within my business unit. No issues with the current manager, but the unwillingness of the company to pay the going rate for certain positions is beginning to become infuriating. Currently being paid about 20k less annually for the role I'm in than what the market dictates. This is solely due to it being an engineering role. I know what a predecessor was paid since they transferred their network drive which had old annual reviews. We have also grown substantially since that predecessor was with us, but the pay has actually declined precipitously. Unfortunately taking advantage of the company's tuition reimbursement program has tied me up for a couple years despite current job offers elsewhere.

Pros

Acceptable 401K matching with immediate vesting as well as an age based deferred compensation program that has a 3 year vesting period. Standard benefits and pay consistent with industry. Acceptable safety practices defined and adhered to throughout organization.

Cons

Moderately high turnover (at least my division). Inconsistent treatment of employees (flex time allowed for some employees but not others in same work category, some employees told to use personal car or phone for work activities while others get in trouble for same type of work activity, allowing some employees the options to apply and move internally while others are not allowed - and are sometimes even forced to moved to a role for which they didn't apply against their desires). Inconsistent reporting of data and legal brushes aside your questions/findings making you seem like you did something wrong when uncovering something fishy.
