Pros

On site training, decent wellness center, mostly given tools needed to succeed. Area I'm in is fairly flexible on work hours as long as you meet the minium. Benefits are great, there's even a pension.

Cons

Incredibly outdated language and corporate structure. Favorites are promoted over more qualified candidates. Each programming area is somehow allowed to define their own standards, nothing is standard throughout the company. Any attempt to inject new ideas or suggestions is met with the dreaded "we've always done it thusly" attitude. Hires are treated like children for their first 3-5 years, and there is no way to escape a supervisor who you don't get along with.

Pros

Free on the job training because their systems use an obscure language called mapper that almost no one in the world uses. So there is no training anywhere else. Insurance is cheap and excellent. Still offer a pension.

Cons

If you are in IT, you must commit to this place or leave quickly because you will not be able to use these skills ANYWHERE else. No one uses this language and the interactive systems are slow and clunky because they have to work with mapper. There is very much an attitude of "if it ain't your job, don't worry about it". I brought several issues to the attention of my managers and was told we don't care about that, it's another area's problem. Nepotism is common and promotions are handed out based on time in chair rather than ability. Not surprisingly no one ever retires so there is very little room for advancement.
