Pros

Pay and benefits are better than average and treatment from lower level managers is great. Opportunities for training and spending time with family are encouraged.

Cons

The top management, those at the corporate level, are only out to make money, often at the expense of managers and workers below them. Corporation looks like it's flooded with money but insists that lower level people slash budgets and salaries.

Pros

If you have no other job and do not want to be bothered by any one , mangers , co-workers.Keep your performance up and no one talks to you.I don't know if that is a pro but you have to grasp at straws with this place.

Cons

No salary increases.Over priced health insurance.No positive recognition for a job well done.Many of the employees are under the constant though that they will be let go soon.
