Pros

Good benefits both dental, medical and family.

Cons

Don't give a hoot about you're well being, everything is according to the book and decision making is based upon "covering my own b***". Salaries is based upon how good you are in with you're manager and also what he get's for his site. Which means that if you stand up for youreself it will most likely not happen.
