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
