Pros

Pros - friendly people, a lot of opportunity for learning and career development, numerous opportunities for advancement as long as you're mobile, can truly be a "9-to-5" job so promotes work/life balance, great benefits, overall leadership does seem to care about employees, equal amount of women and men in executive positions. Also, if you're not happy in your current position or department, generally they are willing to work with you on finding a better role/fit within the company.

Cons

Very corporate with too many levels of management, lack of innovation due to corporate structure and bureaucracy, if not mobile your advancement opportunities are fairly limited, headquarters is in the middle of nowhere Illinois, the feeling of not really making an impact because company is so huge.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
