Pros

Decent benefits package although it was better before the economic downturn. Opportunities to advance are there. You have to work for them they don't come looking for you. The feeling exists that you must take any opportunity that presents itself, passing on one is believed to be a serious career limiting move.

Cons

Salary is held low Short term decisions run the company Micromanagement is very effective in managing cost and making annual profit goals but is oppressive.
