Pros

Nice facilities, good health benefits and 401k. company had a solid portfolio when I was there and definitely was well positioned for the future.

Cons

Atmosphere was poisoned by favoritism and backstabbing. Sr Management tended to rule over their subjects rather than foster a more inclusive environment. I had an advanced degree and 10 years of experience before joining the company but there were less qualified individuals who were promoted because they kissed up more. Pay was below what I made for the same job eslewhere but the location was closer to home which is why I worked there. Lot of clock watchers at SP who would write you up if you weren't in your chair by 8AM on the dot, that was annoying and demotivating especially for employees with children who were in daycare. Upward mobility was virtually non-existent unless you went the sales route. If you did not want the sales route your options were pretty much non-existent for advancement except to leave the company which I did. Since that time my salary has doubled what it was at SP, I can't imagine having anywhere near that level of success had I stayed.

Pros

Lots of growth opportunities, fabulous team, my mgr was great

Cons

Shockingly disorganized (3 rounds of leadership restructuring in 8 months, lack of centralized training resources), bro culture that both tolerates gender based harassment and favoritism that is at time gender based.
