Pros

Great Salary Great Benefits Management Support (I had a great former manager)

Cons

It's about who you know. Not good balance in diversity. Diversity Department is a joke. Numbers only count on paper for conscious sake. During waves of layoffs, one would think to offer to an impacted employee? I don't think so. Very "clickish" company and power tripping management unless a layoff is in the air, and then they "act" more personable.

Pros

Great benefits and pension package

Cons

Too much micromanagment. Managers fear losing jobs so training or advancement is minimal. Although some department heads are great, loyalty and committment to other managers must be proven by working late, and coming in early
