Pros

good benefits, good office environment

Cons

poor pay, little senior management direction or communication, no clear strategy, NO opportunity for advancement or promotion, a lot of bureaucracy and office politics. It's about who you know and not what you can accomplish. Management doesn't listen to staff, although they claim that staff feedback and ideas are very important - they're not.
