Pros

Benefits and pay. Old, established company that does not take risks so you are unlikely to be let go

Cons

Old, established company with old, established management. No diversity, almost all management is older, white males. They treat women very badly and it's obvious. The Management prefers boot lickers who agree with them to performers who may have more updated ideas.
