You’ll have the opportunity to work in a be of the most stifling negative political environments around. You’ll have the chance to get overlooked for positions you’re qualified for. You’ll get to see said position get handed to a 23-25 year old who’s completed a 2 year leadership development rotation but has no experience in the position their getting let alone “real world” experience. I almost forgot to mention the “extended vacation” event they do annually for their employees! Well I call it an “extended vacation”, they call it a reduction in force.

See “pros” section. In addition, the benefits used to be great for a very good weekly contribution but they decided having a great, straightforward medical plan was hurting their bottom line so they brought in a rediculously expensive plan that is about as good as veterinary care. It’s also very confusing. I’ve had to spend countless hours on the phone with Aetna for over billing me for services rendered.
