      Pros

      Good benefits, Significant paid time off and sick leave not only for yourself but for family as well.

      Cons

      HR department is like the Gestapo. They make decisions and create policy effecting workers when they have no real clue what the workers do or experience. They seem to simply keep creating more oversight to justify their existence, making it more and more difficult to do your job. It actually feels as though they are looking for ways to get the employees in trouble. Instead of hiring a replacement, management has a habit of distributing a recently retired or terminated employee's duties to the other in people in the department permanently. These other people are not compensated for the additional workload. Middle management is full of hopeful ladder climbers willing to step on anyone to get ahead. Think backstabbing rumor mongering high school girl nonsense.

      Pros

      Typical Dental, Vision, Health with bi-weekly costs. Average 401k

      Cons

      Not loyal to employees. Benefits are not competitive any longer. If you don't come from a diverse ethnic or gender background, there's no chance of advancement.
