Pros
Christmas bonus, good benefits, excellent training programs, and (generally speaking) the people are top-notch. The company is based on several Core Values, and most employees truly believe in them and abide by them. It is a good, safe company to work for...as long as you aren't in it for the money. Quite a bit of job security.
Kontras
Most employees are dramatically underpaid compared to similar jobs elsewhere. The same political junk you find at big companies still rings true here. "Future managers" are chosen within the first few months of employment...if you don't make "the list," you will never advance. Unfortunately, quality of management varies dramatically between departments (since most "earned" their position through brown-nosing, rather than by merit). Several in management have no checks or balances to speak of, and a small number of them abuse this power. Tons of pointless meetings...sometimes we would literally have meetings to discuss future meetings.
