Pros

Nice people, good benefits, decent salary, good job security in most positions, lots of opportunities to transfer within the company.

Cons

Not much of a work/life balance, salaries are low when compared elsewhere, very old-fashioned, no work from home opportunities, old equipment and software programs.
