Pros

They don't have competitive salaries, but they are acceptable. The other benefits include stock and a pension plan. You have to spend many years working here to get good pay, as salary increases are only 3% per year. Many legacy products are still under development and maintenance, so you will most likely use some outdated techniques.

Cons

Good company culture. Work-life balance is much dependent on your professional behavior. Too many issues are there all the time. You can adjust work-life balance if nobody is pushing you.

Advice to Management

Employee quality is getting worse and worse due to a less competitive environment. Employees with competitive skills most likely go for a higher salary; the others working there are mostly 40+ to 60 years old. There are too many managers, technical leaders, etc. Many of these people are not worthy of what they are paid, especially looking at what they are contributing. Overall, it is a good place to stay for your retirement.
