Pros

Good work experience to build resume for next employer.

Cons

Unfortunately the company no longer cares about employee morale or work hours. Hours are ridiculously long and job expectations are unrealistic. Upper management keeps cutting employees while increasing workload, and rewarding themselves with ever-increasing exec pay packages. Current management is so out of touch and has ruined the company

Pros

No Pros. The days of competitive pay and benefits are gone for this company. You can getter better compensation elsewhere and stuck in a hostile work environment.

Cons

Hostile and toxic environment. Incompetent management. Culture of yes people. Club mentality. Constantly have to remain on guard for fear of saying the wrong thing to the wrong person. You can lose your job on the spot. It's literally that bad. Management pretends to care about its reports. Greed drives the company. CIO is totally incompetent. He is literally destroying the IT organization. President of Utilities is totally greed driven. CEO has no clue about how this company is being taken apart. People over a certain are treated poorly. Work and productivity suffers because of the inept decisions being made. Poor work life balance.

Pros

Good pay, benefits, and co-workers

Cons

Working under the constant fear that if you make any mistake you will lose your job. Those mistakes can range from anything obvious to anything upper management wants to define as an error in order to punish a non-favorite employee. Promotions for undeserving individuals who get to move up in the corporate ladder every few months, only because they are favorites of upper management, not because they are capable of performing in the new role or even in their current role. Many of those individuals will trample on those under them in order to advance their own career. Department is constantly under staffed because of such a high turn over rate combined with how long of a training process new hires must undergo.
