Pros

One of the largest employers in the area If you have the right degree, there can be multiple career options Decent benefits

Cons

Biased management, focus was always on reducing costs with no element of caring about people's lives. Economic downturn served as reason to cut pay, bonus, benefits, and 401k. Just 18 months later they posted biggest profit ever. Amazing.
