Pros

Guardian has historically provided secure employment to employees who "toe the line." The continuation of this trend will be dependent upon whether the business's historical revenue trend is sustained.

Cons

Opportunities for advancement do no exist in most departments. Even if openings for higher positions do exist, Guardian rarely promotes from within. Annual raises are paltry.
