      Pros

      Good salary, retirement benefits are good, quality employees that care about the outcome.

      Cons

      Excessive work load that prevents project completion: get it started and we'll iron it out later, but later never comes. Job satisfaction difficult to come by. Too much belief in the latest fad: SAP, Six Sigma, Lean....... Previous comment applies here. Failure to recognize talent lacking formal education but steeped in experience and/or intellect. Excessive mid-level management change: with change in leadership comes a corresponding change in process. Refer to first two comments and recognize coupled with new management desire to "Fix it" results in never achieving proficiency before changing again.
