Pros

Good work-life balance. Laid back atmosphere. If you work hard you will be recognized and given opportunities. If you are slacker, you will slide through and still have a job.

Cons

No development!! If you have 20+ years of experience this is a great "career", if you are withing 7 yrs of your career you are in trouble. Weak to non-existing leadership.

Pros

Nothing has impressed me yet.

Cons

Insurance costs are way to expensive for what they offer. Worst insurance I've ever had. For 60,000 employees I would think a better insurance plan could be offered. Really no room for advancement for me. Management team needs major reconstruction.
