Pros

vacation, work life balance, some security

Cons

Highly incompetent middle management. Highly unqualified and untrained to do their jobs. Many are thoroughly unprofessional. Ols boys club is hard to get rid of. Need proper connections and networking to get anywhere in the organization. HR is incompetent in addressing any issues regarding employee's unprofessional behavior.

Pros

Local Chicago Based Company, many locations to work, many departments in which to pursue a career or focus on a career - they seemed to be good about promoting from within the company. They had a pretty good retirement plan & stock sharing plan at the time I worked there (approx. 10 years ago)

Cons

Lots of turnover with fellow co-workers & within managemnt, I went through 4 bosses within a year period. There is a good 'ole boys club mentality at some of the branches and non-management employee's often feel like second-class citizens due to snubbing.
