Pros

Secure company. Privately owned, family company with no debt obligations and diverse product lines. Competent management.

Cons

Since 2008, there has been a new "normal" established in which much higher productivity is expected with fewer resources. In other words - Work longer, harder, smarter, and be thankful you have a job. This mode will be unsustainable in the longer term.
