Pros

Great benefits package, including medical, dental, vision insurance packages, retirement account with matching contribution, pension fund, generous vacation time, tuition reimbursements, discounts on commuting costs.

Cons

I experienced 3 different departmental reorganizations during the 10 years I was there, leading to the loss of knowledgeable workers, low morale among the staff and difficult transition periods due to poor change management and change management communication.
