Pros

There is a good work/life balance at the company,

Cons

The company is bureaucratic. Decisions are made slowly and require the approval of several layers of management. For instance, requests for vacation in the department I worked in could not be approved by managers, but needed to be approved by the overall department manager.

Pros

Work-life balance, okay benefits, and cemented impact on the community

Cons

Because the company has a bottom line, promotional paths aren't really a thing beyond individual contributor to manager. I don't know what the next level up would be besides that.
