Pros

- Great benefits for families - Has both 401k and cash balance pension plans; 401k has generous company match - Is ramping up more volunteer opportunities and tooting its horn about them - Stock is doing very well - If you like being with a department that takes forever to make decisions, this is it.

Cons

- HR group is small and overloaded with work; work/life balance is challenging - need to set boundaries/ expectations with mgmt and employees; people come into work sick with the flu, esp. managers as they feel penalized if they don't - Promotional opportunities are limited - Diversity is paid lip service only - Be sure you're ok with having a tiny workspace and lots of conversations going around you on the floor - If you want another job internally, make sure you can handle that one and the one you left b/c they will hound you on both

Pros

The Managers and HR take a good time reviewing the profile of a person to be a good fit with the teams. This helps to ensure a positive work culture with clear expectations.

Cons

Bureaucracy can be tough, especially if you don't know the org chart and the people.
