Business outlook
Pros
-Unique products and programs you can't find anywhere else -Large percentage of staff will be eligible for retirement in 5-10 years so I imagine there will be a lot of opportunities in that window. -Fast promotion and pay increases during first 5-10 years out of college.
Cons
-Slow to change/innovate because of older culture and size -Some groups have 30+ people badged to a single manager -Very difficult to get promoted once you reach a certain point -Limited opportunities to -How much you enjoy your job and how you are promoted can be very impacted by whether or not you have a good manager. I have seen and had both good and bad managers and my career and job satisfaction have been a function of how good or bad the person in charge is.
