      Pros

      Its just a job if you work here. Great work life balance because the company does promote laziness, complacency, and lack of responsibility to managements expense accounts.

      Cons

      Complacent management Crap pay No upper movement nor is there dedication to internal employees to move around in the company Very "old" crowd of useless managers with terrible performance track record. Its like a collusion of terrible, lazy, and old management keeping each other employed while losing real talent to much more competitive and better companies Terrible decision making within upper and lower management.

      Disappointing. Effort was pointless as people's paths were predetermined.

      Pros

      Decent work/life balance. Amiable coworkers. Clean bathrooms.

      Cons

      Place is run like a sorority with rampant favoritism. Senior management has allowed this to carry on for years on end. Whether you languished or succeeded was, again, predetermined. Opportunities to advance were cut off at the pass, literally. So we can add unethical to the list as well.

      Pros

      work life balance is the main thing - just about everyone is on the same wavelength about this, so it doesn't seem to vary that much by department

      Cons

      once you hit mid career, opportunities for advancement evaporate if you're at all ambitious, you'll have one foot out the door
