Pros

Benefits, inclusive atmosphere, excellent training and personal development provided, opportunity to advance for those who work towards it, changing atmosphere to be more relaxed and increase empowerment of the employees to suggest change through innovation.

Cons

Inherent culture impedes many very good ideas from being implemented quickly; many long-time employees have become complacent in their jobs and resistent to change; risk taking is still not totally embraced or encouraged; many managers don't walk the talk or hold employees accountable for poor performance.

Pros

Great resume builder (name recognition), access to various local and national activities

Cons

The essence of a petty pfifedom, and the "what have you done for me lately" attitude. Rarely can someone move up unless you are buddy-buddy with a senior manager.
