Pros

Great vacation and sick leave. Managers do not micro manage. Good work life Balance (depends on manager)

Cons

The company has changed so that they really seem to only care about shareholder's bottom line. They do many things to "cut costs' that do not make sound business sense and only frustrate employees forcing them to do more work for the same pay. In the past 3 years I have officially weathered at least 4 large layoffs. The company seems follow the latest company best practice phases, using outside consultants and then they take axes to departments without fulling considering the impact on other employees and most importantly their customers.
