Pros

I am able to set my own hours (within reason).

Walking distance to home.

Pay is competitive (for the most part).

Cons

Too many layoffs over the last ten years.

Pension, what is a pension?

Everybody is over 40.

Way too many acronyms.

Advice to Management

Stop mimicking the competition in hopes that some of their success will rub off.

IBM invented the computer, not Apple, Google, or even Microsoft.
