Pros

Great benefits, plenty of vacation time

Cons

Co-workers are competitive to an unhealthy degree in some departments. Other departments are disturbingly understaffed. Promotions are non-existent due to a lack of leadership positions available. Everyone is a director so where do you go from there?
