Pros

Benefits are good - affordable, good coverage Once you are past your 6-month probationary period, you have amazing job security.

Cons

- Work-life balance flexibility is bad in certain departments - depends on management - Sitting in a cubicle all of the time does not inspire innovation, mental or physical health, or lead to overall job or life satisfaction. - Raises are below cost-of-living increases - Job security allows people to stagnate - hard to innovate when surrounded by stagnation.
