Pros

Stable company. Worked for company for 25 years until location closed and was laid off. Had enough years to retire.

Cons

Changes happen with each new CEO. Many jobs being outsourced to other countries which causes concern about job security. Company's focus is profit and less about the employees who help make the company profitable since going public.
