Pros

Job Security - I have seen it first hand, even terribly performing employees stay on. As long as you show up and put in about 50 percent effort, you can work here indefinitely Work life balance Pay - Varies by department but base pay is solid. Benefits - Generous vacation policy (19 days off/year, plus additional sick time) Executive leadership is very communicative about company changes

Cons

My biggest frustration is that it takes FOREVER to make any decisions or changes. If you notice a way to improve the way your team works, be prepared to have 62 meetings, send 153 emails, and create 14 different versions of a request document, only for a senior leader to sit on it for 2 months and then reject it because they don't understand your job. Basically, if you are happy accomplishing little each day and just want to get a paycheck and go home, working here is great. Seriously, I was very happy for a few years here, because of the Pros listed above. But if you will get frustrated dealing with incompetent people and absurd logic, then you'll be better off elsewhere.
