Pros

-Very nice people -Good benefits and competitive salary -Stable and predictable schedule, hours, etc. -Lots of different areas to work in

Cons

-Entrenched leadership is inflexible to new ideas and restricts movement of high-performers in order to "keep" them; leads to limited upward mobility -Company culture is "collaborative" to the point that nothing can happen without consensus of many; this thwarts creativity and initiative. -Company is not agile enough to compete in many of the areas it has chosen.
