Pros

Great Benefits in terms of coverage and costs, 401K Matching and a Pension Plan you vest in after a year. Paid Time Off/Personal Days are amazing, 15-20 days off with vacation time; yet in senior level/mgmt positions don't really let you take all your time off (unwritten rule I guess)

Cons

Management can set unrealistic expectations and constant reorganizations and cost cutting. Should be "happy" to have survived the cuts and thus willing to work 60+ hours a week.

Pros

Provides its associates with a great work/life balance, good benefits, and a friendly work environment. It is a large company, so there are many opportunities to move into.

Cons

Upper management is weak and does not care to develop its employees. Some people linger in their jobs because they have held it for so many years. Incompetence is ignored at a certain level with work just re-allocated to those that are more competent, allowing some people to unfairly get paid for doing little to no work. The company is also very interested in their bottom line, leading to a lot of offshoring, instability, and constant restructuring within the organization.
