Pros

The hours are very flexible. The people are great to work with. The benefits are very good and the pay is competitive for the industry.

Cons

There are limited opportunities for growth because the workforce is shrinking and the job opportunities are not readily available, making it hard to move about and progress. There have been lay-offs every year for the past few years, which have diminished employee moral.

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible schedules, plenty of interesting work and contracts. There are plenty of smart people that you get to work with. With locations all over the world there can be opportunities to travel and work in many different locations.

Cons

Slow salary growth, heavy corporate overhead. It is a large company and it often feels like it. With governments slashing budgets, many benefits are going with it. Corporate training and performance reviews are poorly implemented.
