Pros

Great benefits are the number one reason to work here. 90/10 health care, decent dental and eye benefits, and good amount of time off (18 the first year then 20 up till year 5, then 25+), Beer fridays, decent off work activities.

Cons

Big company bureaucracy, each business group feels like separate company, not extremely family oriented (though somewhat understandable given the logistics.)
