Pros

Good place to work if you want to use it as a stepping stone for something better. The old-timers are cordial and still respect people for their individual abilities.

Cons

Managers are forced to provide feedback that takes hardworking, dedicated employees and makes them feel servile. The bonus pool is in line with other companies in the area but not necessarily the industry at large. The rules governing its distribution on the surface appear fair but the undercurrent proves otherwise. Much of the IT leadership has a background that includes Accenture. If you are not part of this network, then your promotion opportunities are severely restricted. The politics have increased beyond my wildest imagination.

Pros

Good balance of work/home life. Good coworkers, you build strong relationships with the people you work with.

Cons

Salaries are not competitive. The attitude of management is be "thankful for what you got". No support for employee growth (no $$ because off TARP) to allow for taking classes etc. Maybe if you're in IT you have a better shot but good luck as most of IT is outsourced.
