Pros

Very disability and veteran friendly. Older worker's welcome. 2/3 of people in my unit are over 50. Great health benefits at low individual cost. Medical people smile when they see my insurance card. Many ergonomic considerations, they want you to be comfortable in your working environment and will go the extra mile to help you. Salary slightly better than comparable work I was able to obtain in Nov 2010 after 25 job applications. Wonderful training and probation period. Easy access to Union representatives. Pretty good cafeteria. Nice break areas.Team building enthusiasm.A degree is not required for my position, which is close to the bottom rung, but I have been treated with respect by all managers, including middle or senior managers I might meet. Retirement benefits after just a few years if you are over 50. Work is not hard, if you pay attention. You can take your breaks whenever you want, and there are flexible shift schedules. Lots of little parties and good things to eat. Advancement is very possible into jobs that are perfect for you.

Cons

Too much focus on trouble makers and complainers at times. Can be boring and repetitious, but you are allowed to wear headphones and listen to music and talk to nearby workers. Also, getting help with benefit forms and information can be a challenge at times
