Pros

Great people including the workers in the field. Great benefits. Great safety culture.

Cons

IT is just a cost center. No innovation anymore. Leadership lacks a vision for innovation. People will leave after this year's bonus. No respect for experience. They just let the most senior leader go for no good reason.
