Pros

Outstanding health care benefits, free lunches on Fridays, quiet work environment

Cons

The senior management group is consumed with appalling hypocrisy. It's staggering how much of the company's money they blow on never-ending retreats, meetings, and travels, while pinching pennies on the company's retirement plan and not giving raises to the lower ranks of the company. You will be heavily scrutinized for spending one dollar over the company suggestion for a business dinner, while the SMG drops hundreds of thousands of dollars on meaningless off-site meetings where have yet another belabored conversation about something they could have had in a conference room at Conejo. But they will still post photos of these wasteful events on social media, basically encouraging a "let them eat cake" attitude to the rest of us. The hero worship of a few supposedly brilliant executives is particularly nauseating. Day to day the work environment is fine: quiet, boring, sterile. It's a pleasant place. But just don't pay attention to what's going on at the higher levels of the company, for it will make you truly sick.
