Pros

- Good pay and benefits - A lot of responsibility - Unless Miles sells your division you can probably work for many years there if you do a good job.

Cons

- Management is very cliquish, closed to change and behind the times - too many of them only care about sucking up to their boss and getting their next bonus check. - Most upper management is very insular and arrogant - "if Abbott didn't invent it (which we don't invent too much anymore - we just buy it) it's not important." Learning from outside sources, groups is almost discouraged.
