Pros

Good balance of work/home life. Good coworkers, you build strong relationships with the people you work with.

Cons

Salaries are not competitive. The attitude of management is be "thankful for what you got". No support for employee growth (no $$ because off TARP) to allow for taking classes etc. Maybe if you're in IT you have a better shot but good luck as most of IT is outsourced.

poor work/life balance. Working overtime and weekends are the norm for several areas in the Company, this often leads to burnout
