Pros

Great benefits and salaries, stable financially. Nice place to work if you can stomach the politics and the clicks.

Cons

Management has a "good ole boy" mentality. Political animals make life pretty miserable. No work life balance, an average of 60 hour week. Sheep make excellent employees, independent thinkers or "outside of the box" employees don't seem to make it.
