Pros

Good pay, great benefits that include: 25 days vacation, 18 holidays, pension, 401k match and more

Cons

Really difficult to move up or around. Promotions are almost non-existent and with current layoffs it’s just as difficult to move laterally

Pros

Great benefits and high salary, a lot of room for growth.

Cons

Experience depends highly on your manager and department. I worked my butt off and had an awful manager in a toxic department, but now I have an amazing manager in a much calmer department.
