Business Outlook

Pros

Not many - they think they are a great company and open and honest and they might even sell you on that - but it's not true.

Cons

Too much politics - people get hurt while political war is going on. Company is managing up, employees are not being considered ever. Stock is not doing well for a reason - there are a lot of bad decisions and market sees that. Salaries are low, bonuses non existent for last 5 years, increases are not happening either.
