Pros

They don't fire employees, even if you're totally incompetent you will have a job forever. Pays well.

Cons

Management team claims they want to be competitive and makes change in order to do so, yet they continue to do the same things over and over again. The definition of insanity. Technology, systems etc. very bad.
