Pros

Flexible/understanding with individual circumstances/needs, strong job security, great deal of emphasis on development and training, lots of room for upward/lateral movement and growth, great core values, good people, freedom to spread wings, good exposure to business in general and an industry in specific

Cons

Compensation below market value, chronically understaffed (low-margin industry makes it difficult to justify extra labor), inability or unwillingness to change even amidst failure, talent and human capital management can be spotty, HUGE silo effect, work experience can vary greatly depending on business unit and/or department

Pros

Pay is above average for this area. Good benefits. Flexible hours. Good work environment. Basically a good place to work. Lots of community involvement.

Cons

Somewhat political at times. Review process is not necessarily based on the work you do but of the perception of your supervisor at the time.
