Pros

Pay is competitive, time off is average, benefits are generally good. Additional perks/savings provided. Generally speaking employees care about their jobs and want to do the right thing.

Cons

A lot of layers, typically poorly explained reasoning for items at senior leadership level. Incredibly difficult to get things done quick depending on the situation. Hard to progress upwards as the company seems to favor those who move around over those who become experts in the company. Need to adjust the merit increase system as those who do poorly get rewarded no different then those who should be standing out. Managers are put under a lot of stress and are not compensated differently then individual contributors at higher levels.
