Pros

Better that average benefits. Salaries are ok.

Cons

People who have been at their jobs for 25 years and doing it the same way. Any suggestion of change is frowned upon. If the idea is not from Cary, it is not good enough. The customer does not seem to matter much. New ideas are stiffled or simply not offered as people are afraid of their jobs. SAS DOES LAYOFF!!! Just come to the Middleton office. Enough of this 35 hours work week. You are paid for 35 hours but you put in a lot more. That is the truth. Very buddy centric. If you are in HQ (Cary) you can coast and stay forever. If you are remote those rules do not apply.
