Pros

Communication is good from the CEO/President. There are many organizations/groups to join. Facilities are nice. Good insurance available.

Cons

No room for advancement, always reorganizing the company's structure. PTO program is very limiting, you have to accrue PTO. After 10 years of employment, I barely get 18 days of PTO (this includes sick time). Raises are very unfairly given, favoritism exists and is very apparent with certain managers. Extremely hard to get ahead regardless of education and experience.
