Pros

Great benefits (medical, dental, etc.). Many people have worked there for a decade or more - if you do your job well and work hard, you will generally be taken care of. Privately owned so insulated from mass layoffs that come with public companies.

Cons

It's a boys club. Very, very few women in leadership roles and if they are, they are paid less with smaller titles than their counterparts. Very limited upward mobility at headquarters for men or women. Just not set up for growth and career development. Not savvy at all when it comes to embracing modern technology/meeting market expectations.

Pros

Great benefits and company culture, frequent opportunities to interface with senior leaders and executives.

Cons

Roles and responsibilities are demanding, complex organization to understand, and requires in-office days if you are in proximity to a regional hub.

Pros

Solid steady company, generally nice people and it can help people advance if they so choose.

Cons

Privately owned, so many decisions are made arbitrarily, not always having to be vetted properly. Globally, decisions would be made that would not be in the best interests of the US market. Also, if you're an internal employee, it could be difficult to be promoted/advance within the company. You get stuck with new duties, but no new titles/pay.
