      Pros

      Employees are treated fairly and with respect. Benefits are excellent and wages are average or above average. Safety is an actual priority, not just a CYA exercise like many places. People seem to actually care for one another.

      Cons

      Lack of management, chain of command not always clear. Left hand often unaware of the right hand, so to speak. Technical decisions not always sound due to large ego's. Managers often do not have real-world experience or experience managing people. Advancement is difficult and positions are filled by who has the most education versus ability. Technical meetings are often a "who's the smartest" contest, resulting in poor decision making.
