Pros

The company truly cares about its employees (it's not just lip service that you might get from other companies). You'll find support up and down the ladder. They have a great benefits program (not common these days). The people are genuine and want their peers to succeed. Leadership is highly accessible (and very down-to-earth).

Cons

Some teams run lean, but no major cons.
