Pros

Well, quite a few actually, awesome work life balance, nice people mostly. Managers are looked up to as a better class of citizen ( I thought it was wrong but if you are a manger it must be nice). Very slow pace of work (again both a pro and a con). I would like to come back when I'm closer to retirement.. Awesome company to retire from.

Cons

Low pay, very hierarchical structure, if you want to take initiative you need 20 approvals... Gets boring for a do er.. Some people who have been around for a very long time and are thus out of ideas
