Pros
The people I worked with in my department were very nice, and we tried our best to make it bearable to work there.
Cons
John Menard micromanages to the point of interference, often in matters he does not fully understand. He opens (randomly) incoming mail to the General Office (all departments) and will demand answers to matters he knows nothing about. He treats some departments with contempt, often telling its employees the whole department is worthless. It is not an environment which fosters confidence and pride in one's work. It is a culture of fear and self-preservation.
