Pros

The benefits are good and they do try and be a good employer.

Cons

Old style leadership. Managers that were promoted past their level of skill. Micromanaging of staff . Drowns creativity and frowns on open and honest dialog. Everyone is always trying to avoid conflict and keep everyone happy. DIfficult issues are avoided and the top leadership is out of touch and lacks key leadership skills. Complaints are made over and over again, and action is not swift.
