Pros

Benefits, holidays,pension,allow you take learning classes related to job

Cons

No job security.Charge employees $500+ a year for parking. Management is snobbish. No incentive to be an exceptional employee-bad workers and good workers receive the same the same raises and same treatment as good workers. Seniority based-they will layoff a great worker and keep a slacker.

Pros

Excellent benefits, lots of vacation and sick leave

Cons

Favortism at a grand level. Even if you are an excellent employee with many years of service and outstanding performance reviews and attendance, mid-level management will lie,steal and cheat to promote and maintain their "friends" positions-who happen to their subordinates even if they perform at a lesser level. Pets are allowed to waste half the day, chit chat 2-3 hours daily etc.
