Pros

Stable company. Can pay relatively well. Good if you want to have a long career. The tuition reimbursement program is great if you want to go to college for undergrad or grad degree. Flexibility of schedule. Free to work from home when desired. No clock punching or micro management.

Cons

Old fashioned, top down culture. Management is unable to make decisions so you get stuck with no decisions at all. Very political organization. Promotions / transfers are dependent on who you are and who you know. Even purchasing decision are "administratively influenced". Zero fun. The inside of the buildings are beige on beige and that is a perfect reflection of the corporate culture.
