Pros

Vacation benefits and comp time

Cons

Where to start. This org is a misshapen collection of un-educated people in positions of authority. The Engineering Dept is a classic CYA enterprise. Waste is rampant. You will not have the comfort of knowing you personal information is private, they will ignore any and all federal or state laws concerning anything to do with labor laws, medical information, you name it. They will pay you about 20 percent below the market. Beware, it may look attractive do to the retirement and med benefits but you will pay a heavy price to get there.

Pros

You can get away with doing very little work, if that's your thing. It's also very hard to get fired if you are anything but white. Nice cubicles, it's free to ride the bus/rail.

Cons

Most of upper management is not qualified, but appointed to their positions. No one really knows whats going on, but they still get promoted or moved laterally until they find something they're mildly good at.
