Pros

Good insurance, good co-worker, life and working is balanced. If you are lucky enough, you would meet some good manager. Customers are good

Cons

Monthly / quaterly laid off, totally has no direction, so many directors, VPs with several staff. Don't understand the ideal of the management why the company pay such high salary and benifits to get so many old men just want to secure their positions without any contributions.
