Pros

Good benefits, good time off, and work-life balancing. Decent salaries, but they will plateau. Non-management personnel have some exceptional people to work with.

Cons

Hit a glass ceiling. Difficult management for technical people to work with.

Work continually increasing with fewer people to handle it. Constant push to do more than be excellent at the job you are assigned. Enough is never enough.

Lack of education and new opportunities.

Advice to Management

Come to understand the technical resources needed for major initiatives. The employees are dedicated to doing their best, but they are not magicians.
