Pros

Somewhat stable as a fairly large company. Layoffs have happened, but typically those laid off have a good bit of warning that it's a potential in their business unit, and personally get 60-days' notice. During the 60 days, receive preferential treatment and assisstance in pursuing other jobs internally.

Cons

Smal profit potential in industry leads to constant expense focus - cutting costs eventually ends up at cutting people. While some of the philosophies, mission, vision, etc. preached from the top sound good, it only takes one bozo somewhere in the senior management chain to stop the actual benefits within his/her span of control.

Pros

When I started years ago, the company really showed their appreciation for their employees. Great benefits, % match on investments, flexible time management and little perks like Christmas turkeys and bonuses. They also valued their employees and treated them well. Now? They've taken away everything worth working for! So now there are no more good reasons to work for them.

Cons

Upper Management keeps reinventing the wheel without taking the time to actually look at what is already in place. They give employees surveys, then when they turn out so negative the employees end up having to retake them! They don't ask for or listen to employee input. They praise with one hand and slap with the other.
