Pros

In general the company has a decent salary, benefits package, however the bosses recently cut pension and retiree healthcare. If you want to you can usually stay where you're at for a long time. Des Moines has some good places to live and schools are fair.

Cons

There is no chance for advancement based on merit. Lack of diversity, everyone, especially who gets promoted is all connected somehow, related, frat brother, etc. Upper management is never held accountable for mistakes. Employees find out about important events via newsmedia before being told at work.
