Pros

Nice People at Working Level. Clueless Senior Management - leave us alone! Nice environment - BUT not forward looking company is petty stable

Cons

Very Nice Work Culture. But promotion and job opportunities for future career path is limited unless your family have connections with the VPs. Work culture is about filling up spreadsheet and tracking - not realistic management. - Dumb infact!
