Pros

Decent benefits and middle of the road salary. Adhering to compliance laws very important and advertised throughout the company. Continuing education programs are well supported and financed for those who like to take courses while working.

Cons

Bottom line management style...Sacrificing talent, experience and home grown employees to outsourced companies. Touted as greenest employer and top 100 for the last 6 years or so but hasn't done anything new since the first year. No room for managerial advancement despite annual re-orgs and policy shifts. No real training for new employees..a sink or swim mentality. Way too much bureaucracy!
