Pros

Competitive salary and benefits especially for the southern US Excellent work life balance- managers very respectful of workers evenings and weekdns

Cons

Internal moves decided by "caste system" that includes a set of high potential employees who have their own rules and are usually European Very little connection between work tasks and actual results due to long delays and complex web of decision making processes
