Pros

Varied Benefit Package / Good Health Care Benefits

Cons

Disrespectful to employees - not interested in innovation/new ideas (even on the smallest level); just do what you are told mentality (very antiquated management style) Nepotisim - professional advancement is low unless you have connections Performance reviews - REQUIRED signature BEFORE form was completed by the manager (essentially you signed a blank form, didn't have any opportunity to discuss, saw what you were rated AFTER approved by upper management -- really crazy/possibly illegal)
