Pros

- Great benefits (health, dental, vision, life insurance, long term disability, etc). - Great 401k benefits(100% match up to 6% of salary and an additional 2% of salary regardless). - Great work life balance.

Cons

- Noncompetitive pay. - Raises either pitifully small or non existent. - Low employee morale. - Every year something is taken away to cut costs (no longer pay for internet service, no longer pay for mobile phone usage, no longer have a pension, bonus is 4% less than it used to be, employee stock discount decreased from 15% to 5%, mandated compact car rentals, all flights must be economy even when super long overseas flights, no longer pay for schooling, no longer offer training, no longer pay for company holiday party, replace computers every 4 years now, etc). - Low chance for advancement. - Performance reviews do not correlate with actual performance.
