Pros

Excellent benefits package, accrued annual leave, federal holidays, excellent wellness programs

Cons

The culture of the organization is stagnant because everyone is satisfied with barely doing their job. If you are an innovator or have any semblance of ambition, you will be stifled because people are so complacent with "the way we've always done it."
