Pros

Great people to work with. I like some of the benefits we get beyond the normal.

Cons

Its hard for me to come up with a good con that isn't extremely trivial. For some jobs it does seem that the pay is a little low for the area.

It's not what it used to be

Business Outlook

Pros

Co-workers are wonderful, office environment is nice, most employees have their own office. Courtyard, workout area and workout classes, cafeteria, good health benefits. You can feel good about your job knowing that, regardless of your position, you are contributing to a healthier and happier society.

Cons

Staff is spread too thin and are overworked. It didn't used to be this way, but in the past few years more work is created and empty positions are not filled. Staff cannot thrive let alone succeed with current expectations.
