Pros

Fair pay and average benefits. Management has recently started listening to its employees. One of the few employers that offers a pension, for now.

Cons

Overbearing Affirmative Action strategy stifles any opportunity for non-minorities. Poor pay-for-performance pay system that does not fit the job. Management rarley reverses policy even when it is an abject failure.
