Pros

Good benefits, relatively short hours with flexible schedules, several professional development and career development programs are available for employees with good performance records, can expect to receive a bonus regardless of the company performance, though you will not know the amount until the day before the payout.

Cons

senior management makes most of the decisions, jobs are awarded based on diversity targets rather than actual qualifications, people will ask you about billing issues, how to use their cell phone, etc. Performance objectives are not always clear and it is difficult to understand how bonus amounts are calcualted. Unions - every 5 years they threaten to go on strike if they do not continue to get free health insurance, unlimited time off with pay, etc.

Pros

Flexibility, interesting fields of work, job security, growth potential. The company is very flexible with employees and understands the need of having a family life. The company is ongoing in fields of work that are innovative and attractive to technical fields. The company is in excellent financial condition to secure your job for the future. The company has many tracks for employees to move up and onward in your career.

Cons

Very segmented, you are not free to roam outside of your work environment, one track per employee, no real benefit to overachieve. If you are wanting to be cross trained to work in other fields, look elsewhere. They are very segmented and don't want you venturing out into other fields.
