Pros

- decent medical, dental, and vision - fairly good retirement plan - generous paid time off - large company with many locations

Cons

- horrible IT, computer systems, still using IE6 - a few fantastic, competent coworkers; many employees are nitwits who can barely spell or speak proper English - very dry social atmosphere - management creates a Kindergarten atmosphere; lots of silly posters and banners about doing your job to "keep the boss away" promotes a culture that values negative reinforcement - company imposes fairly high burden on its clients in terms of forms, paperwork compared to competitors - drab offices, full of fluorescent lights and ugly grey cubicles designed to drain any creativity or positive energy from your soul

Pros

The benefits are great; tuition reimbursement is more generous than other companies. Pension contribution is generous. Excellent corporate mission. Interesting investment strategies.

Cons

It does not feel like the company promotes internal employees. It appears company prefers external candidates for positions. The salary bands for many positions appear to be lower than industry standard.
