Pros

Health care above average, though that is changing Executive management may finally be understanding there's problems with the company and middle management.

Cons

If you want advancement, you'd better be a WASP male. If you're a minority then you may get hired, but your chances of training and advancement are non existent. Chances of your pay increasing above what you hire in at very low - If you get an increase in line with inflation you'll be doing well. Corporate policies are largely lip service ignored outside NJ
