Pros

Casual dress; management is supportive of work/life balance; salaries are competitive for the workload; good people; Willing to re-train you to other positions; flexibility to move around the company. Great place to retire; pension is nice.

Cons

Innovation can get squashed unless you are in the 'inner circle'. If you play golf and like to talk sports all day; you'll do great. IT management can lack understanding of the technologies they are managing; hard to motivate employees who have an 'entitlement' mentality; harmony over results; small town big company results in many people being connected outside of work; Have to be careful about what you say and what you do out in public.

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
