Pros

The salary and benefits are good, as is cash profit sharing. So long as you're able to make the grade (and graded you are), you can expect a stable job.

Cons

The work culture is authoritarian, no ability to choose career path, employees function within a caste system, the location is inconvenient, no work from home option, and the actual work is boring and tedious.

Pros

Benefits and end of year bonus.

Cons

They hire non experienced fresh out of ivy league for management. If hired as something other than management, you will go nowhere. You can be a shining star to some management, but once ONE manager dislikes you, your stay is over. I had great reviews for years and then I got a manager who disliked me and it was nothing but bad reviews. After 6 years of nothing but accolades and rewards they put me through a roller coaster year of "You're doing great" and "You suck, you're job is in jeopardy", they let me go.
