Pros

Competitive pay for the state. Good health benefits. In-house cafeteria w/ subsidized lunch/dinner and free breakfast. on-site fitness center w/ personal trainers.

Cons

Even though employees are treated well, the work is frustrating because the company is not very good at working cross functionally. Finance has different plans/ideas than Marketing, which has different ideas than customer service, etc. etc. Way too much bureaucracy for a company this small.

Pros

On site fitness center. On site chef cafeteria. Employees are able to contribute and are valued. I have really enjoyed working here and have really developed my skills and career in the process. I always have work to do. We keep busy.

Cons

No job is perfect all the time, but not a lot of negatives here. Staff is spread across 3 buildings.
