Pros

Great benefits-particularly the retirement benefits were very generous and the company matched at a very generous level, dedicated and hardworking co-workers, good IT systems,

Cons

Management had little or no regard for the personal lives of employees despite employee desires for work/family balance. 10 hour work days are common even during non "busy" times in the month.
