Pros

People are good. 401k matching and pension are very good. Healthcare is very low priced for single individuals.

Cons

HR policies. They literally would rather hire an external applicant for more money versus paying an internal applicant, that is better suited, similar pay. They have a pay raise cap at 10%. So if you make $50k and get promoted to a managerial position, the most you can make is $55k. If you were external, you'd make $90k. It makes zero sense.
