Pros

* Benefits are good, but not as great as they were in 2008 when I joined; Healthcare, bonuses and stock took a significant hit after the Fall layoff of 2015. * Employee is generally taken care of and has many additionally benefits aside from the aforementioned.

Cons

Too many managers with conflicting interests, overlapping areas of focus, and their own agendas with no repercussions for their misuse of resources or their failing to follow corporate policies; essentially many little unaligned kingdoms fighting for territory.
