Pros

Good benefits and compensation.

A lot of programs that you can choose to be part of.

Generally, the people are great to work with.

Cons

You seem like just a number after some time, and it makes it tough to get ahead in your career. It seems like you have to know people to get ahead.

Advice to Management

If you are going to have a resource action, at least state it to your employees beforehand instead of surprising them.
