Pros

Job security is stable, benefits are good, and depending on the area you're in, there is a good work/life balance. Advancement opportunities are decent but only to a point.

Cons

For most day-to-day operation-related positions, the wages/salaries aren't enough for people to care to put a ton of thought into what they are doing. In fact, the general culture and expectations are not proportional to compensation. Departments create work for other departments; realignment within departments is common but not very effective.
