Pros

- Excellent benefits - Virtually near impossible to get fired unless you make huge mistakes

Cons

- As other reviewers have stated, it's a very political environment. It's more about who you know rather than how well you do in your job. I've seen a lot of people who were promoted that didn't really belong in that position because they were buddies with management. - Entry level positions are repetitive and get old fast.
