Pros

Fantastic mission - the customers (members) we support are in the Armed Services. Senior leadership is strong and they share strategic information freely. They want all employees to be part of the solution. Team approach and employees are exceptionally nice. 401K package is very lucrative. Compensation is very competitive. Annual Christmas bonus = 2 weeks pay, if organization is doing well financially. They have never missed one distribution. 10% bonus for all employees if company objectives are met. Can exceed if company exceeds goal.

Cons

Large organization - sometimes it takes too long to effect change.

Pros

This is an easy job that pays pretty well and isn't going to stress you out. Most non-management IT workers put in an 8-5 day and no more. There are good benefits (medical, 401k, on-site gyms, etc) that make it hard to beat.

Cons

There is very little room for someone to really grow well-rounded technical skills. People are forced into very specialized jobs with no insight into other areas. Additionally, heavy duty technical implementations are contracted out to India or outside vendors. IT staff more often than not are babysitters to external contractors just to make sure they have what they need. Most IT employees never get in deep enough to fully understand anything.
