Pros

There is some flexibility with balancing work and professional life. Management are qualified. Benefits for employees are good for long-term employment.

Cons

The company is conservative. Management is not progressive and still has an old school mentality. A lot of company policies are not written, there is a lack of communication among the departments, and limited options for growth within the company.
