Pros

The benefits offered are great, and most of the people you meet are warm and caring.

Cons

They are the absolute -kings- of failed bureaucracy. Anything you have to go through the home office for -will- be inevitably screwed up. If I had a nickel for every time I was told one thing on the phone just to have it completely contradicted, I would never have to work again. This includes, most egregiously, the amount and timing of paychecks.

Pros

Good company, good benefits. Flexible hours. Good work life balance. Lots of room for advancement.

Cons

I should of negotiated a better salary. I feel under pay compare to my peers at other companies. Everyone has so much tenure. Most people I meet have been working with the company for 15 plus yeas. Which is a good thing but I must believe there is a lot of complacency.
