Pros

People are generally nice. Generally open to job changes/rotations (24 mo), lots of opportunities if you can network. People generally care.

Cons

VERY political depending on business unit. People seem to be proud of being an "early bird" and it becomes a competition (vicious cycle) to see who comes earlier (5:30 am). Slightly below industry pay (close to par). Argument is Pittsburgh (HQ) is a cheaper city to live in. The company, the people, the management, is CHEAP AS FK. You are a number. Tons of layoffs. Read between the lines, even if you are a rock star.

Pros

Great coworkers and stable company.

Cons

Lack of communication. Poor decision-making skills during acquisitions. Upper management would make careless decisions that the customer-facing employee would have to "deal with".
