Pros

benefits and compensation are solid. Beer/Social hours are nice perk

Cons

Frequent layoffs have left current employees with low morale. Management tends to keep layoffs throughout isolated departments very quiet, yet people talk and are aware that the chopping block is constantly there. Lots of corporate politics, you need to be in with the right crowd to succeed.

High turnover - people would leave every week Poor management - my boss was great, but most aren't and your life will be miserable here if you don't have a good boss You may (or may not) have a good salary, but you will work in a hostile environment (people go crazy with high turnover0
