Pros

Great Benefits, Purpose Driven Work Opportunities, Hard working co-workers, over the last couple of years making great strides in improving systems and being on the front lines of innovation. A lot of retirements are going to happen in about 5 years paving the way for advancement but must be patient until then.

Cons

Often no direct lines of advancement or mentoring and the bureaucracy that comes with any larger company.
