Pros

There are a lot of good people there.

Cons

One of the worst places I've ever worked. No raises. No bonuses. Impossible get a promotion unless you are friendly with someone in upper management. They work people to death with no regard for employees family lives. (They love to post mandatory Saturdays and Sundays.)

Pros

You will never find a better group of coworkers. Lots of great people. Couple handfuls (the ones who make all the decisons) who are clueless

Cons

Fair benefits. But this day and age, that is almost all you can ask for. 75% of employees overworked. PLEASE get rid of the ones who arent...or the ones who don't give at least a decent amount. Too many are surfing the web..coming in late...leaving early, napping, always sick. Etc. Need more restrooms

Pros

Good company, nice benefits. People are hard workers.

Cons

A lot of turnover, people moving around. They are in the midst of a number of acquisitions and don't know how to integrate the acquired company's staff into their own, so they let them go.
