Pros: Very healthy environment. The people are great to work with; very intelligent.

Cons: It can be difficult to motivate others to do something different. The attitude of "we've always done it this way, so it's the only way it can be done" is a major frustration.

Pros: - Easy to get hired. - Even if you do a mediocre job, or in many cases don't do your job at all, you'll be ahead of the curve. - Laid-back work environment. - Learning Together Program (though this isn't as good as it was). - Aside from layoffs, it is very, very difficult to get fired. - Lots of opportunity to work overtime, especially if you're hourly. - Most of the workforce will retire in the next 10-15 years.

Cons: Many people are unqualified for the positions that they hold. Extremely change-resistant culture. Seniority-based layoffs with an average worker age of 45-50 and tenure of 20 years. Unions (certain tasks restricted to job title, people with low seniority get screwed, etc). Management is, for the most part, incapable of disciplining employees unless for the most severe violations. Exceptional performance is rarely rewarded. Very poor and outdated computing hardware and software. Most of the workforce will retire in the next 10-15 years.

Pros: Great work-life balance and benefits.

Cons: Can sometimes feel slow due to how big everything is.
