Pros

Very conservative and cash / dividend focused company. Probably a very good company to have in your investment portfolio if you are looking for consistent dividend returns.

Cons

A very insulated and inwardly focused company. Some of the company's leaders also have a tendency to be quite arrogant and have a belief that the company does everything right and does not need to change a thing. The company has not grown organically---only via acquisitions that are disparate in their own right.

Pros

The salary was good, and the people in the department I worked in were friendly

Cons

Politics at the company were tricky to navigate. Success was more about who liked you rather than merit. Bad behavior would go unaddressed if the person was liked
