Pros

it's a paycheck, not much other than that

Cons

I worked here for years, and it's all going downhill fast. Leadership is constantly sending down "initiatives" that pile more and more work on everyone w/out any additional resources. And all the emails they send to employees are lip service and no actions. Upper and middle management don't even give you the decency of telling you "no" or the truth- they just never answer you.
