Good benefits, somewhat flexible work hours, easy to get to, good location, good for entry level position or someone not looking to advance

Cons

Inadequate compensation package for support staff, senior management caters to upper level staff, definite divide between the haves and have-nots, people not necessarily friendly, little opportunity for advancement in certain departments, company focus on consultants with no mentoring/training for other staff, short staffed in several key areas, no sense of team
