A view from 20+ years. It's not your fathers company anymore
Pros: Excellent benefits if you are willing to pay for them and an excellent 401K match. Still a good growth opportunity for someone just starting out. Especially if you are a self motivated person. A job history here is still is plus in the professional history section on your resume.
Cons: Seen a lot of highs and lows over the years. They seem to be in one of the lowest times right now. Promotions and raises have been slim to none for the last ten years. It seems that management will "throw the dog a bone" when moral hits rock bottom and give an across the board raise. No interest  in projecting or planning for the future. Only looking at the bottom line right now. Budgets are nonexistent  and people are "Resource Actioned" or laid off monthly.
