Good job security, reasonable advancement, fairly dependable wage increases depending upon the budget situation, not a tremendous amount of pressure, "you don't have to be crazy to work here, but it helps", good benefits

Cons

Mediocrity is pretty much king, no real reason to strive for excellence, upper management ignores your input, mediocre (if that) pay, A very real culture of "it's not what you know, it's who you know", lots and lots of politics
