Pros

At one time, had a good PTO policy. When started many years ago, a much more family friendly company. Now, they are beholden to stock holders.

Cons

Demonstrates age discrimination. When employees get close to retirement age, many are let go or encouraged to leave. Very liberal organization to the point of being ridiculous. Seem to be focused more on social issues than completing the work at hand.

Pros

Competitive Salary Great Benefits Package Passionate Colleagues Excellent Growth Potential Longevity Stability Innovative Company that is willing and open to adapt to new technology and economic trends.

Cons

The only one I can think of is too many software and system portals to use as a field employee, but other than that excellent place to be.
