Pros

Environment is very supportive if you try to balance work and family - you can work from home occasionally, you can take vacation when it works for you and comparing to software companies you will not be over-worked

Cons

Management simply has no clue what they are doing. They are changing direction every few months. Tools and techniques used to manage work are simply antique. If you want to grow professionally and maintain certain level of knowledge - stay away.

Pros

Holidays off, okay pay, cross train in other areas that are needed

Cons

Managers, doesn’t keep advancement promises, always mentioning room for growth but when the opportunity presents itself they have an excuse for why right now is not a good time to move. Adds training for other departments that are short staffed but don’t compensate for all the different departments calls you are taking. Trying to take PTO is a pain, there are plenty employees so there should be no issues with taking time off
