Pros

I can't think of a single nice thing to say.

Cons

Layoffs Pay is below market value. Bonuses have been cut drastically the last few years and dispersed to stock holders when the people are the ones doing the work. Overtime is required to stay above water. People with seniority are untouchable. There are more bad managers than good ones.
