Pros

Flexible work schedule, location of corporate offices, friendliness of co-workers, positive work environment, latest technology, great benefits for family including access to one of the best parks and pools in central Illinois.

Cons

Small town in the middle of Illinois corn fields. If you like the big city, you won't be happy here. There isn't many cultural events in the community and you have to travel to Chicago or St. Louis for fun and entertainment.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
