Pros

They have the best benefits package of any other company I have worked for. A lot of paid vacation and sick time. It's a great place to work for the benefits.

Cons

It's a tough company to get and keep a job at if you are not related to anyone or friends with anyone. Also, work ethic and intelligence do not always factor in to how well you do. It's a very political company and the best way to get ahead is have friends/relatives in high places.

Pros

Smaller feel, good for prioritizing family and life outside of work. Not too competitive between co-workers. Great collaborative culture.

Cons

On the smaller side means less opportunities and more waiting for roles to open up and advance. I saw a lot of people leave for better opportunities.

Good opportunity to make good money through constantly available overtime.

12-hour swing shift leads to abysmal work/life balance.
