Pros

Decent Salary, decent benefits, job security. If you want a place to hang your hat and call home, this is it. Once you get hired, its up to you how hard you want to push the envelope, or not.

Cons

Slow growth, lacking diversity in management, lacking opportunity for career growth. No matter how hard you work, no matter how successful you are in what you do and no matter how many classes, designations or degress you have, its all about having a sponsor get you to first level management. Even at that point, you may need to be bllingual and offer to move anywhere in the US at the discretion

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
