Pros

The environment was less stressful than many of my peers described at their respective companies. There was also an annual profit sharing check right before Christmas! One of few companies to have 401K and Pension Plans.

Cons

Salaries were conservative in comparison to some other companies in industry.

Pros

-Stable company, salary is reasonable, especially as you move higher up the ladder -Good work/life balance -Good benefits

Cons

-Very political company, as you move up the ranks it gets more pronounced. At higher levels it is much more about relationships than quality of work. -Once you get to a certain level, advancement is not based upon merit or skill, most jobs are never posted and are filled based upon who the hiring manager (or a friend) "knows and likes". this makes it difficult to advance without a strong group of friends in high places. -Best advice, make as many friends as possible
