Pros

The salary and benefits are great. Training is provided and you can earn a college degree (I got my Masters) while working full-time.

Cons

Periodically they have large "right-sizing" exercises which leave many employees unemployed. I realize this is a sign of the times but it stings no less.

Long hours, can be high-stress to always exceed expectations. Downsizing and outsourcing have put alot of pressure on remaining employees. At times the Management teams are so stressed, they struggle on providing leadership.
