Pros
Base pay in on the high side of average for most job titles. In good years I've received as much as 8% additional as performance bonus. 23 PTO days plus an additional 8 paid holidays. Very flexible scheduling by which I mean you can take time off for a doctors appointment or something and make it up on your own honor when you can. Very good about time off for family emergencies or death in the family. These latter items vary tremendously based upon your department and manager; I have a good one in this respect.
Cons
Health plans are all High Deductible and the coverage really is not very good and even as an employee you can expect to get claims denied and have to spend time on the phone fighting to get covered expenses paid for. Many company functions that you would expect to be in-house are either outsourced or off-shored. Try to get a meeting with an actual HR person for example - good luck! Annual performance uses the 'Forced Bell Curve' system so no matter how good your team is, 50% of you are not going to be rewarded and the ranking system, unless you really screw something up, is completely subjective and based heavily upon your manager 'Liking You' rather than you meeting your objectives. Promotional opportunities into the management roles are extremely limited if you are not in one of the "Employee Development Programs" and those are mostly restricted to new college grad hires. Internal politics, both within deparments and across departments is about the worst I have ever experienced in my work career.
