Pros

Great salary, benefits and colleagues

Cons

Too many bad decisions by CEO and subsequent fall out on employees and entire sites being laid off or closed down. Historic reputation for reorganization and laying off 1/4+ of staff and constant offering Retirement Severance to employees who fit the age and years of service criteria. A lot of long time colleagues with PTSD from going through it.
