Pros

Benefits are great, work is fairly easy. Company shares its profits with employees. School is paid for completely and they also will pay a portion of your child's college. Insurance is paid by the company for the entire family. Excellent medical, vision and dental plans. Company is controlling their growth which leads to a more secure company. It is a nice job if someone wants to stay in one secure place for a long time, there is not a lot of movement in the company unless someone really impresses and make it known they want to do a lot. If not you can stay in the same position for many, many years.

Cons

No clear path for advancement, IVY league is a shoe in but everyone else stays put. The company does not post any job openings in the branch, a manager will walk up and tell you that you start in a new department in x amount of days. If you say no then you stay put for a long time, everyone knows to always say yes when the want to move you. Anyone from an IVY league school will be brought in as a supervisor or manager even if their major is not in that field, people skills are not required.

Pros

Great Benefits. Great, great, benefits.

Cons

Truly bizarre corporate culture. Not much transparency - you just show up, do your job and go home. Little information is shared about the health or direction of the company. No clear path for advancement.
