Pros

Most people are quiet, conservative and task oriented to achieve clearly defined goals of their work position. The office culture is as a team where individuals perform within established constraints and well defined boundaries. The result is a very stable work environment for those who can follow direction.

Cons

The company is ROI driven and functions financially very much as a holding company or investment banking entente. The opportunity for advancement is very much mentor driven.

Pros

Pretty good benefits and pay structure. Bonus program for sales people instead of commissions will not keep pure-bred sales person satisfied. Good 401(k) plan and medical benefits.

Cons

Couldn't manage an acquisition successfully if their lives depended on it. They depend on "systems" instead of people to the point of fostering employee abuse by lower managers. Their view is so long term that their true disregard for their employees is exposed by their reliance on dysfunctional managers and inadequate "systems".
