Pros

If you have no ambition in life, this is a perfect place to work until retirement. Good work life balance and enjoyable working environment. Treat employee right and with dignity.

Cons

Many middle level managers and top executives are incompetent for their jobs, but the company lacks clear performance measurement metrics at all levels. Most managers are only interested in enriching themselves. Not culturing open and honest communications within the company. People are compensated by whom they know instead of what they know.
