Pros

Work life balance and respect for personal time.

Cons

Too much process to move any of the worthwhile efforts forward. Great place to keep head down and do the work your told to do as long as you don’t mind it not going anywhere. Little to no career advancement, promotions seem to go to the typical politically connected talkers instead of the actual doers.

Pros

Holidays off, okay pay, cross train in other areas that are needed

Cons

Managers, doesn’t keep advancement promises, always mentioning room for growth but when the opportunity presents itself they have an excuse for why right now is not a good time to move. Adds training for other departments that are short staffed but don’t compensate for all the different departments calls you are taking. Trying to take PTO is a pain, there are plenty employees so there should be no issues with taking time off
