Pros

Salary seems fair, yearly raises and bonuses based upon work performance. Benefits are great and a pension is a rare find.

Cons

Management is oblivious to the reality of the work being done. Resources are over-stretched due to lack of planning. Contractors have more influence than permanent employees which is a direct reflection of the lack of leadership.

Pros

Work-life balance, okay benefits, and cemented impact on the community

Cons

Because the company has a bottom line, promotional paths aren't really a thing beyond individual contributor to manager. I don't know what the next level up would be besides that.
