Pros

Great benefits, compensation, training, and potential to move up.

IT has extremely low turnover.

It is very common to have over 15 and 20 years with the company.

Great work/life balance.

Couldn't ask for a better job.

Products and service are top-notch.

External customers are the priority, and keeping customers is number one.

Cons

Management's idea of "agile" is skewed and needs to be revamped.

New hires are bobble heads who say yes to everything. Not a lot of people are left who will say no, and there are not enough opportunities for constructive dissent.

Advice to Management

Stop hiring people who just say yes to everything. Hire people who will challenge the business and the management and actually think through solutions.
