Pros

Pay. They let you do your job. Little micro-managing. Good sales and employee support. Excellent benefits.

Cons

You will advance if you are willing to move and relocate. Your job is as good as your manager. Very HIGH turn-over in middle management. They make business decisions based on bottom lines without regard to employees. Rely a lot on Six Sigma and the latest "cost savings program" and sometimes completely for-go common sense. Company is SLOW to move with modern technology. It's like moving the TITANIC.

Pros

Stable income and benefits, and a decent campus.

Cons

Sometimes not as much room to move unless you're in with the right people. I say it's stable, as in income, of course, till there is a bad year and your division/buisness group is on the chopping block. No real incentive to overachieve.
