Pros

Training and product knowledge. Good insurance benefits.

Cons

Longterm employees seem to be targets of layoffs. Company will then hire lower salaried employees to replace terminated employees. Cost of living raises are often ignored, and non-existent. Attendance policies are not administered the same across the board. Very few new product launches. Little value is placed on R&D.

Awful management, poor morale, completely disorganized

Pros

You might luck out with good co-workers, but a lot of your bonding is over how you cope with working at such an awful place. The cafeteria does have pretty good food, though, and the building is nice. Salary is good.

Cons

Complete lack of concern for morale, IT is a disaster, there isn't one function at this company that isn't completely broken. There are a lot of people there who don't seem to have ever worked anywhere else, so they don't realize how broken it is. Frequent layoffs.
