Pros

Most people are friendly and there is plenty of knowledge to go around from people who've been there for a long time

Cons

Not the place it once was. They used to thrive on promoting from within, now they just he managers and directors for every position or made up department. Although they don't compete with others compensation wise but it was a good, friendly place to work with some work life balance, but now it's neither. You are underpaid and overworked. Upper management is out of touch pretending to care about the people but it's literally there way or no way and just trying to force their idea of "culture" and "fun" down everyone's throats and just expect everyone to cheer and applaud.
