Pros

Great team and people if you join the right department/group.

Cons

It used to be all about the quality and service. Now its all about meeting the numbers. Company benefits are shrinking. Back filling of positions are slow/none causing everyone with heavier workload. Senior Management staff high up in the hierarchy system decide to leave the company doesn't help either.
