Pros

Good benefit and retirement package, if you make it that long. Good pay in most departments.

Cons

Ridiculous rules at headquarters. No walking and talking on phone. No even looking at your phone while walking. No walking with hands in your pockets. Must hold onto handrail while on an escalator or while ascending or descending stairs. Must obey all crosswalk signs while walking to and from work including no crossing in the middle of the street. Must keep all drawers in desk pushed in. Management by intimidation. Feeling of walking on eggshells everyday. If you are laughing at work, you are having too much fun for being at work.
