Pros

Work/life balance is very good. Many of the employees are very good to work with. Doesn't mean they know what they are doing.

Cons

15 years ago there was Employee stock ownership plan, pension, 401(k) with matching, profit sharing and low pay. Now, no ESOP, no profit sharing, 401(k) matching has been decreased, pension has been decreased and still low pay. There is no reason to work there unless you don't want to be held accountable for anything. Employee moral is at rock bottom.
