Pros

Management is open to working with schedules to accommodate work/life balance.

Good horizontal opportunities (learn something new).

Great benefits including health and dental, with 401K available.

Cons

Horrible opportunities to move up in management. First-line managers have their hands tied while higher-ups make decisions. Red tape everywhere, as with any big company.

Advice to Management

Look within the company to fill positions, especially when looking to cut costs.
