There is job security if you want to do the same job for 30 years and don't strive to learn anything new.

Cons

The company is known to offer salaries well below industry averages. There is little to no upward mobility once hired in. There are no merit increases or bonus structure.

Pros

They are a solid company with a great group of co-workers. Upper level management is easy to talk to, and they are starting to slowly catch up technologically.

Cons

The salary is slightly below average and prepare to work 10 hours a day. Other than that there are really no major complaints.
