Pros

Benefits; desire to treat employees fairly; hard working coworkers; good cafeteria; well documented procedures; able to get the tools so you can do your job;

Cons

micromanagement by senior leaders; a very passive aggressive culture; it is more important to be political than to do the right thing; middle and upper management will take short cuts and even have questionable activities.
