Pros

Good pay and benefits, generally steady outlook for employment. Some flexibility in work schedule, mostly enjoyable co-workers.

Cons

IT, being a cost sink for the company, generally falls into the "Faster, Cheaper" paradigm when it comes to defining the point on the the engineering "Faster, Better, Cheaper" triangle. Too much focus on formal process rather than productivity enhancements and innovation. Somewhat limited opportunities for career growth, not much of the work is terribly technically interesting or cutting edge, and the challenges are mostly around dealing with a lot of process, budgeting and business interaction, and IGS. Currently, the only new FTE's are being hired in Monroe, LA.
