Pros

Job-security. I've seen it go both ways. In some cases, you REALLY have to screw up to be let go. I always felt respected by my manager and co-workers. Work/life balance is very good.

Cons

Coworker Competence. There is none, really. There are the select few that i enjoy working with who work just as hard as me.. but in reality there is too much to do and no one is getting paid enough to do it, so basically no one wants to do anything!

Pros

Excellent benefits package (such as tuition assistance, 401(k), medical/dental/prescription drug coverage) and a willingness to assist with training (in-house or vendor provided).

Cons

Salary compensation for this position is well behind other companies; as a result, employees with great work ethics and skills end up leaving. A great annual review typically results in a 2.5%-3.5% raise...which will just about keep you even with inflation. If you work at the corporate campus, your annual "bonus" is an invitation to the clambake...although there's uncertainty as to whether or not it's taking place this year. Also, the company exhibits a general stubbornness to not embrace (or even consider!) work/life balance policies generally accepted at other companies, such as job sharing or working from home.
