Pros

Work-Life Balance is amazing and the job is extremely flexible about when you work, as long as you work your 40 hours.

Cons

If you want a pay raise that matches the industry standard, one must leave the company, or switch departments to earn a promotion or a raise that is greater than 3% a year. If one is promoted within a department they might expect to only receive a 6% raise, whereas leaving the company or switching departments they should expect a 15-20% raise.

Pros

9/80 and every 2nd Friday off, generous vacation time.

Cons

The company is 100+ years old and functions almost entirely on inertia. Senior Management is totally disconnected from the day to day, and it shows in the content of their "community" video meetings. They talk about diversity but have no interest in applying it. Most of the time they totally ignore the needs of their disabled employees.
