Pros

Good salary for tasks required

Cons

Always looks to outsource. Layoffs year after year. No security. Management has no idea what the workers actually do and sadly all decisions are made by upper management. Zero opportunity for growth. Used to be a great company but not somewhere I would want to stay the last 5 years.
