Pros

The people I work with are fantastic. Very smart, dedicated and friendly. The work is interesting and engaging. The company and senior management cares about its associates - more than just lip service. Senior management is top notch. I have full faith in the direction of the company.

Cons

We use Lotus Notes instead of Microsoft Office! We'll likely move off Notes within the next 3-4 years but that will be a painful process. Information can be heavily siloed here and good information exchange can be lacking sometimes.
