Business outlook
Pros
-Stable company, salary is reasonable, especially as you move higher up the ladder -Good work/life balance -Good benefits
Cons
-Very political company, as you move up the ranks it gets more pronounced. At higher levels it is much more about relationships than quality of work. -Once you get to a certain level, advancement is not based upon merit or skill, most jobs are never posted and are filled based upon who the hiring manager (or a friend) "knows and likes". this makes it difficult to advance without a strong group of friends in high places. -Best advice, make as many friends as possible
