Pros

Good healthcare, onsite recreational facilities, flexible work hours, low stress, good vacation, holiday schedule, good brand image of the company in the market.

Cons

Slow paced work environment. Lack of mentoring by managers. Excessive nepotism among management. Upper management has no clue how to drag the company into the 21st century or how to prepare for upcoming challenges in the industry. Job security is a double edged sword: people are too complacent: for a company owned by a Republican that prides on selling software which improves customers' efficiency, they themselves operate as a socialist utopia. Average employee age is 45+ and it really shows in the day to day operations. I personally know people that don't do ANYTHING. Some don't even show up for work for days on end. All it takes is an incompetent manager who will just look the other way.

Pros

Benefits: health coverage, on-site gym, childcare, healthcare center, and more. Work-life balance: predictable hours, flexibility for parents and a culture that doesn't expect you to grind 60-hour weeks.

Cons

Compensation lags the market, slow career advancement and promotions can take years. Change-resistant culture and new ideas move slowly. Leadership team manages up to just one person.
