Pros

It is a steady job...while you have a contract. In my experience it is a very flexible place to work - each vacation request I submitted has been approved, sometimes with only a week's notice. Four weeks of vacation a year when you walk in the door is nice as well. Once in, it is hard to get booted from all I have seen.

Cons

The work is uninteresting, and the company is so big that your work rarely matters. Pay is low, industry-wise. The company is very top-heavy, and as they try to remedy this promotions are becoming harder to get.
