Pros

Very good at developing managers. Very successful company which will be around for many years.

Cons

Work it's employees too long and not much chance for advancement and not many opportunities for minorities. Also, the company gives very little back to it's employees. It's family events are very watered down and limited to not include all family members.

Pros

The behavior of people can easily not fit well with people... but does with me. Strong characters, yet work well with you in trying to learn the ropes. Strong focus on work/life balance while still meeting business needs. A great challenge to build a strong portfolio.

Cons

Always have to be on your toes. There is always a full plate, and making sure that everything is customer driven. That takes away the focus on internal work that can grow with no attention. There is a lot of bureacracy that prolongs the simplest of tasks. Like anywhere else, it is who you know that gets you what you really want.

Pros

Great benefits, reasonable life work balance, great people. My job is incredible. I truly enjoy the challenge and working in new product development. I think I have one of the best jobs on the market. However, the downsides sometimes make me want to leave.

Cons

Career growth difficult in my business (Appliance sector). If I thought I was being faily compensated I would think I had the absolute perfect job. Very diverse business, however, too often promotion opportunities are based upon minority/woment rather than those who are most qualified for the promotion. There is a vast difference between the "executives" vs. "non-executive" salaries and benefit packages. The only folks that get any bonuses are the "execs" so don't expect anything less.
