Pros

In the downturn of the financial markets, utility and medical industry are probably somewhat safest place to work

Cons

Lots of downsides. first of all, the senior people within the company who are employed since the Brooklyn union and Lilco days, think they own the company and behave the way they want too. Secondly, the company speaks broadly about diversity and stuff but treats minority badly. Promotions are based on who knows who and not on merits. Have seen some managers and supervisors know nothing even about computers, but still holds senior positions. Junior staff does all the work while the seniors plays golf the whole day. Senior also get away watching pornos on computers coz they have godfathers within the company. Some departments functions like Mom & Pop stores or should i say like an Federal disability office.
